Since you can probably set the 'pool' of numbers issued by the Voyager, I'd
do something like use 192.168.1.10 (fixed) for the WAN port of the Wi-Fi
and make the Voyager issue addresses from 192.168.1.20 (so no confusion)

presumably is had previously issued (to PCs ?) the .3 and .4 addresses, so
it would issue the next in sequence...

Why don't you key in the addresses from your ISP, or was that slower
when you tried two different PCs (I lost track)... peter M.

Agreed... Ihave experimented a little with DHCP on various routers
here, to see whether I can set one entry on my PC to point to some
specific remote server, and the second to point to a router here,
to see how well lookups work (so I use the 2 entries passed during
PPP negotiation only if my preferred [not my own ISP] server isn't
responding. In an earlier post I did suggest using nslookup, as
that would report the server it was using, when the poster is
making comparisons... with such a setup, I am ready to say
that it is surprising it works at all :-) Peter M
