I've been using a Linksys WRT54GL since about 2005 as my router behind a modem-router. The setup currently uses a Smart/RG modem router on 192.168.1.1 and the Linksys as 192.168.9.1. The latter network is for my wife and I, our Synology workstation and printer. The Smart/RG connections are used for machines outside our private little world. Updating the Synology system today popped up a msg that the network was only 10/100 "please get a gigabit router". Probably this is a good idea. They're not expensive, but I'm wondering if a spare modem-router I have, a TP-Link TD-W9970, could be used as a router. I only use 3 of the outputs of the Linksys, so there's enough physical sockets. I'd like to keep the current logical setup, but suspect I may have to simply bridge ethernet connections to use the TP-Link. Any suggestions from the LO community? I prefer to have equipment used rather than sitting on the shelf, but it could be the cost of a new router (< $100 for wifi and 4 ports) is a whole lot less trouble.
