oh okay, so you do have internet then? just a matter of forwarding ports for starcraft?

you want to forward your 6112 port on router #1 to router #2s WAN IP address, and you want to forward your 6112 port on router #2 to your PCs static IP.

you should be able to find your router #2s WAN IP by checking router #1s DHCP client list

I think the problem is the VOIP device. It still is working, and I have a strange inkling that my port forwarding won't work until it does.

My first guess is to put the router back to .15.1 to see if the device will take that.

did you enable the DHCP server on router #2 so that it will give it an IP address?

I did. Simply doing that though didn't bring the phone back. Switching it back to .15.1 did though. However, switching to 15.1 has made the internet go away (again)

I'm thinking now that I should make the Router use the same DNS servers as Router #1, because when I connect to Router #2 now, ipconfig tells me its connecting using a DNS server with the same address as the Router, which sounds strange to me.

Yes, router #2 should have the same DNS servers as router #1.

If that doesn't fix your internet you could try going back to .16.1 and resetting(assuming you can?) your VOIP, so that is gets a .16.X address, instead of the .15.X address which it seems to have if it doesn't work after switching to .16.1

That didn't do any good.

After switching back to .16.1 and again .15.1, I've lost phone again and I have zero internet through Router #2.

I'm going to reset Router #2 again, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to hit it with a sledgehammer, throw it off a cliff, and then blow it up with dynamite

kk

A switch would have made everything much easier lol. I don't see what the purpose of two routers is.

Anyhow, I've got to go for a while, so good luck!

Well, I've got phone and internet working through router #2, but still no luck on port forwarding T_T

you want to forward your 6112 port on router #1 to router #2s WAN IP address, and you want to forward your 6112 port on router #2 to your PCs static IP.

This is my best guess.

Or you could try forwarding to your PC from your first router, but I don't think it lets you since it's on a different network. That's why I said forward to router#2 first.

This part's on you

Forwarding from Router #1 to Router #2's address did the trick!

I feel like this was a growing experience for me.

It also reminds me that being a network tech would suck balls
