-You don't need 2 routers if you use the VPN with all yourdevices;[winchesterstoke]OK
-You don't need DD-WRT if your router is VPN capable. Although DD-WRTis excellent firmware, installing it will probably void your warrantyand you risk bricking your router.[winchesterstoke]Thanks, I’ve already installed the second router so I’m probably already down the DD-WRT rout!
-You should change your router passwords (Not use the defaultones).[winchesterstoke] Noted and agreed.
-Don't expect ppl to watch a 30min. YouTube video to understand yourpost [winchesterstoke] Sorry. Never expected that!
Therouters didn't come out of the box with these IPs asdefault.[winchesterstoke] I have spent many hours (before my stroke and since)That was one of my assumptions, in other words part of the homework I wasassuming you had done. [winchesterstoke] Sorry– have done what I could so far, but will do the rest (which willtake a few days – sad :-( ). It'sup to you to make it effective. So what are now the two addresses youset your routers to?And to connect to 192.168.2.0 (or any other IP) you don't use "Network Connections". You open your favourite internet browser and type192.168.2.0 (or any other IP) in the address bar on top, then press Enter.If the router is available, it should ask you for a name and password before displaying its home page.[winchesterstoke] That makes sense – I’d got confused previously ( but fundamental Ijust can’t see how my secondary router – or anything else – can be contacted by my 192.168.2.1 – I’m still missingsomething).Now, I'm sorry to say I found such a question about connecting to 192.168.2.0 to be totally out of place, even if I answered it.If you want me to help you further, please understand you'll have to show you are indeed progressing in an orderlymanner.[winchesterstoke] I think I got confused (sorry!),but I think I do have a pretty good reason (at to is moment!), so sorry again.Regards.[winchesterstoke] Just to add that I really appreciate all the help and long responses. The stroke I had meant that I couldn’t use my phone, I struggled to know my own name or address even after a few months, so I have to keep pushing myself that means that I may have slow or silly questions.
