What happens if 2 routers have the same IP?
Your router uses those IP addresses to direct network traffic to the right devices. Because of this setup, no two devices can have the same IP address on one network. If this happens, the network becomes confused by the duplicate IP addresses and can’t use them correctly.
Can a switch be connected to 2 routers?
You can only have one router connected to your ISP. Connecting a switch into your modem first and then two routers to the switch will only let one router work since the ISP will only select one of the routers. You can only have one router connected to your ISP.
Does a switch store IP addresses?
Unmanaged and layer 2 network switches do not have an IP address, whereas managed switches and layer 3 switches do. A network switch with an IP address is required for Telnet which allows remote access to the switch. The IP address of a switch can be found via the router or an IP scanner.
Can a router have the same IP address as another router?
For starters, you need to change the IP address of the second router. You have to avoid the situation of having two devices with the same IP addresses within one network. For example, if the main router has the IP address 192.168.0.1, and the other router also has the address 192.168.0.1, the two addresses will be in conflict.

How many routers does a host need to connect to?
Instead, a host only needs to have routes for every host it needs to connect to. In your particular network, there are 10 IP addresses (assuming a management address for the switch). Which means that the host PC0 could have nine host routes and no other routes at all.
Can a second router have the same SSID and password?
When it’s time to choose the SSID and password, choose the name and the password that you want as your WiFi. Since an IP address is unique, we also need to change the IP address of this 2nd router as the first one will likely have the same IP as the 2nd has right now.
