We have two phone lines into our house, one business, one personal. They will both have separate broadband next week. Each has a DD-WRT flashed router. My intention is to spread the broadband load between the two routers by having two networks. The idea being that when daughter streams a film the business is unaffected on the other network. As we have two phone lines and, in the UK, it is pretty much as cheap to have broadband/call plan/line rental as it is just a call plan line rental it seems a no brainer to have two broadband packages. It also gives us a small amount of backup.
Now the question is how do I link the two networks so devices on one can see devices on the other but each network only uses its own internet access. For instance, daughter can print a document on business printer. I can transfer daughter a file from the business network.
I was thinking of having one router use one subnet and the other use another subnet but am unclear how I get each router to link the two together. The routers are next two each other so cable link is easy but not sure of the router configuration I need.
What you are wanting do to will be via command line to configure the new vlan, most likely.
The swconfig / vlans page in the webUI is mostly moot on anything but Broadcom.
