    Trying to connect D-Link router through a Linksys.
    I have a D-Link DI-604 that I want to hookup my TiVo and XBox up to, and that router is connected to a Linksys BEFW11S4. The D-Link doesn't seem to be able to connect through the Linksys to get onto the internet. What needs to be changed to get this working?

    Are you sure you are connecting to an uplink port? If you are not, you may need a cross over cable.

    I tried the uplink port and it still didn't work. I guess I may have to redo the ends of the cable to make it a cross over cable. I was hoping that they would do the switching internally.

    It should if you used the correct ports. Did you make this cable yourself?

    No, this is a store bought cable. I know the cable works because I just use to switch it between the XBox and the TiVo depending on which one needed it at the time.

    Ok, I've tried every possible combination when it comes to connecting the wires to different ports on both routers and still no go. From what I can tell in the setup of both routers everything is the way it should be.
