I don't have broadband of any kind running in my home, we have one android phone with a grandfathered unlimited data, and use PDANet to access the internet either through USB, or create a wifi hostpot when we want. But I do have a regular home network with NAS (WHS2011), a desktop (W8Pro), a laptop (Linux Mint), an iPad and an android phone, so I do have a need for a wireless router that can connect all my devices.
A friend of mine helped my setup an old linksys WRT54G router for my home network about a year ago and everything has been functioning well, I was just a little displeased with the performance. I bought a used DLink DIR-655 for $30 to upgrade to 1 Gbps wired Ethernet and 300 Mbps wireless to eliminate some bottlenecks. Since I did that though, when I connect online through PDANet (USB), while connected to my home network, I can't get anywhere outside of google (literally, I can go to google, run a search but can't access any of the links, nor any other url non-google related). If I unplug the ethernet cable running from the router to that computer, the internet (via PDANet) works fine, so I know it's something with the router. With the old Linksys router this never happened, the internet via Android phone PDANet USB worked in harmony with the house network.
Does anyone know what router setting I should be looking for to allow myself access to the (internet) and my local router simultaneously? Would it be a firewall setting, or is there some other conflict? I browsed through all the router settings through the webportal and DIR-655 User Manual and nothing seemed obvious. The subnet of the old linksys router was 192.168.1.x and the new DLink router is 192.168.0.x. When I connect online through PDANet the assigned IP is 192.168.43.x, so I don't think there's an IP conflict there and I haven't changed any network settings on my computer.
Thanks!
