Variables: "A" = The wireless router, "B" = The wired router. "X" = 1st computer, "Y" = 2nd computer. I first connected the A's "Port 1" with B's "Uplink". Then A's "Port 2" with "X". At last B's "Port 4" with "Y". A and B are both Linksys BTW. Problem: When 1st turned on "X" and placed a connection, "Y" could not connect, so I need to shut down "Y" and unplug the power cord for "B" then plug it back in, turn on "B" and "Y" on again....THEN I can connect. That's so inconvinient cuz I mean why can't I just leave "B" on 24/7 without turning it on and off? Looking for solutions on: -What software settings should I adjust? -Anything wrong with the cables setup? Sorry for the long read. Have a nice weekend.

On some routers the port next to the uplink port does not work correctly if the uplink port is in use. Leave that port open if you can. Larry

Thank you, I'll fix that.
