Resolving IP Address Conflicts

samf

We're using Rapid Broadband (www.rapidbroadband.ie) which uses dynamic IP's, and we recently extended our setup to go from wireless router, and then connected that (via network cable) to another wireless router in an out house we have about 50m away. This generally works great and provides wireless broadband in both houses for the cost of just one account, but since setting up that way we've frequently been getting "IP Address Conflicts" errors when trying to connect, and this seems to occur more often in the further house.

While turning wireless off and on again usually resolves these, is there a way to fix the setup so that these dont occur? As mentioned the service uses dynamic IP's so they should be unique, but is it perhaps because we have 2 routers that they're not communicating and giving out IP's that are unique to themselves but not unique on the overall network and that is causing the issue? Any advice as to how to resolve would be hugely appreciated.

Your router must be in the same subnet as the lan ports of the Rapid Broadband router/receiver. Login and change the 3rd subset, if its 192.168.0.1 change it to 192.168.1.1 etc.
