Problems with office network
Hi everybody. Hope you can help with this problem that's been bugging us in the office for days.
We are subscribed to an ADSL broadband connection. Our setup is such: line>adsl modem/router>switch>network devices & 2 wireless routers
Basically, some desktop computers are using a wired connection to the switch, which is a Cisco 15 port switch. Some LAN access points are also connected there. We also connected two wireless routers to the switch. We want people using the laptops in the office to be able to access these routers to use the Internet, and also to use the printers.
What's been happening is that the wireless connection is very intermittent, it just goes off and there's no Internet access even though they are connected to the network. Sometimes, when they are connected to a particular network, eg. NetworkA, it shows in the taskbar as connected to NetworkA 1 and NetworkA 2. In network and sharing center it's shown as the laptop---multiple networks---Internet.
I thought the problem might be that the routers might also be assigning IP addresses, so I went in and disabled DHCP server in the router settings. It seemed to work for a while, but then the connection got dropped again. We're using D-link routers and adsl modem/router. Any other settings that I should look at? There's this thing called DNS relay that is left checked. Should it be unchecked?
Hope someone can help me with this, as it's really causing a lot of frustration. Thanks!
