Hi,
I have reasons to believe that my ISP provided modem/router reports every connected equipment's MAC to the ISP. This primary router cannot be replaced for several reasons. That's why I would like to know, if I create 2 separate networks using a secondary (cascaded) router, and connect the 2 routers with an ethernet cable can the primary router still see the MAC addresses of PCs connected to the 2nd router ?
primary router : livebox (cannot be changed, no control over flash updates by the ISP)
primary router IP : 192.168.1.1 (standard setting)
secondary router : any brand (e.g. a dlink)
secondary router IP : e.g. 192.168.2.1 (manual)
secondary router mask : ??? 255.255.255.0 or other (not sure)
cable port on 1st router : LAN
cable port on 2nd router : WAN/internet
Any help would be really appreciated !
