2 Router 2 IP Set Up Issues

I have a set up that I am using that seems to work for other people but I cant seem to get it to work for me. The goal is to have 2 IP addresses functioning at the same time.

 

Can someone tell me what I am missing to get this set up working properly.

 

The current set up has the ONT going into a 5 port tp link gigabit switch. Out from the switch into a linksys router, and out from the switch into a tp link router. Everything works great, with two separate IP addresses but then the tp link disconnects internet. I reboot it and it works for a few hours and then disconnects the internet again.

 

I tried the same set up with the switch going to the Linksys router and the Telus 3200 box and the telus box ends up dropping an internet connection after a few hours as well. 

 

What I am doing wrong where one router keeps dropping the connection and won't hold?

  • What happens if you swap Ethernet cables at the switch, or move them to other ports on the switch?

    Do all routers work if independently connected to the ONT?
