I have one main router on one side of the house and I have a Dlink router which i want to connect my desktop computer and Xbox to. I have been reading online that you need to disconnect the DHCP and change the 2nd router IP to the one of the main router. I try to do that but it says I cannot have the same DHCP or something.

Right now the internet works but the Xbox does not connect to xbox live and i cannot upload any torrents. Is there a step I am missing or that needs to be done? The dlink is causing huge conflicts with the streaming of traffic. I just need it to be a simple hub that doesn't restrict any incoming and outgoing data.

Main router is a TP Link Router. The second router is a DLINK DIR-655.

Thanks
