Trying to run two RA's with WiFi's on the same network. How would I go about this?

They would have different IP internally so you'd just have to forward a different port to the second one. So port 2010 internally would point to RA2 on port 2000. If your router doesn't support that you can change the port on the wifi module to 2010 as well.

That's what I'll have to do. How do you change the port on the module?

You will need to use Tera term to connect with the WiFi module.

I don't have a clue how to do that. Lol

The manual has some instructions on how to go into command mode using any serial terminal like tera term or putty.
Here is the full manual from the manufacturer for your reference if you want to look at it.

After you enter command mode, simply send command:

Sorry,

Which step did you get stuck?

I tried to get into command mode on Tera Term, but I just saw symbols instead of text
Instructions said to enter $$$ to enter, but nothing worked there.

Did you try on 57600 baud rate?

alright, I think I was able to get the port changed, but that doesn't help. i set up the port forward just like the first RA, but when i go to canyouseeme, it says Connection Timeout. also, I noticed the portal is displaying the RA on port 2000, instead of port 2020.

Still nothing today

You have to type $$$ within a second. So, type it fast.

I did. I set the ip localport to 2010, and then again to 2020. Still no cigar

Ahh. I thought you were not being able to even enter command mode.
Did you issue command save and reboot after you changed it?
Can you explain exactly what you cannot do?

I think I see what's going on.
Even tho I set up port forwarding, my router is still refusing connection to port 2010.
I'm still using my stock Xfinity Gateway.
And it sucks. Even tho I've set up port forwarding and DMZ, I don't think it can handle having two ports open so close together.
I'm pulling my cisco router out of the attic tomorrow and using it instead.
It has better settings and features.
