Two Internet Connection to One Lan

I have a gaming cafe and recently i took another connection. Both connection are running on wi fi router WRT54G. Is there a way to connect both my connections under one LAN connection for LAN game and printer sharing.
[Should i buy a switch)

Thanks,

Wulfric

jack i bought a cisco RV042 configured it and connected to WRT54G. Now i dont get the full speed on wireless desktops any specific reason?(on a wired system speed test shows me 55-60mbps but on a wireless system it is hardly 13-17mbps)

13-17mpbs is actually not abnormal for wireless G under average conditions. Maybe a little slow, but not significantly so, particularly if the clients are some distance from the router and/or if there are other wireless signals nearby that are causing interference. So I'd say the system is working properly. If you want faster wireless speeds, you're going to need something better than the WRT54G (something that can handle wireless N clients).


Edit: To check for possible wireless interference, and to determine if there might be a better channel to use, run Wirelessnetview or InSSIDer on a laptop or other wireless device to see what shows up in your area, then select a channel (only use 1, 6 or 11) that is not currently being used by other nearby networks.

I have changed it to channel 6. Did something and screwed up. Please can u tell how to configure the wifi router. RV042 ip is 192.168.0.1, DSL modem is 192.168.1.1 and my WRT54G WAN is connected through RV042 LAN port and ip of the WRT54Gr is 192.168.3.254.
I have one static ip from DSL and obtained address automatically from Fiber connection.
There is lot of lag when playing Counter Strike on LAN latency goes to 600-1400.
Please provide me a solution guys.
 
Speed dnt increase even after using dual band N series router. So decided to go on with 24 port switch. Now how do i connect my RV042 to the switch? Is there any setting that i need to do on the switch?
 
no just pop a gigabit wire over.

if you have simple STP you can pop two wires over and create a loop, the switch will kill the loop but give you non-load balanced redundancy.

trunking/portchannel are required to increase over one gigabit but that opens up a whole world of issues.


simply connect one LAN port to the switch.

wireless just doesn't scale with consumer products on DD-WRT.

There is no magical unicorn for aggregation of 2 different simple bandwidth providers that reduces latency.

It would be cool if there was an app that could poll a list of websites and setup "preferred" path routing to common gaming servers with 2 different providers and sticky the connections . Anyone seen such a thing?

QOS adds overhead but might allow you to keep the leechers from reaching the 80% max bandwidth area that can cause lag.

Sounds like someone is either being a ASHAT or you have too many leechers on your network doing non-gaming deeds (torrent,vpn) and you need to QOS the gaming protocols/ip/machines - this might be as easy as saying all gamers to connection B primary - everyone else to A - but if a gamer is leeching and gaming that makes it a little bit harder.

Then you have ASHATS that ping flood your connection - not a lot you can do there. Not with 2 simple separate consumer SLA services.
 
should i buy a managed switch and get the whole place wired? or buy a linksys ea3500 router. I going to chuck RV042 coz my fibre company PPPoE does not support and if it connects i'm not getting the speed here and my city most the engineer are blaming the RV042 is main cause but dnt know what a dual wan router is lol
 
$2000/month for SMB gets your two 10/10 connections with a /24 and bgp4 - add $1000 for 20K minutes (long/800) and you have quite a potent mix.

none of that fake load balancing.

20 up/20 down can easily be bumped to full DS3 speeds over METRO-E for not much more!

This is your own AS number and /24 you can present on both networks (comcast/att).

Most UTM can handle bgp4 if not you can get an old junk 6509.

For SME/SMB it is not a bad way to go. Far easier than fake load balancing tricks.
