asked on

routers and their address

We have quite a few routers setup, should I change their addresses and what all can I make their addresses?  Right now I think they are all set to 192.168.1.1

We set most computers up manually, so no dhcp.  Would I set the computer to look at their closest router or the final router it passes through?

DIfficult question to answer without knowing how you have everything set up. Closest will probably be OK.

Here is a basic look at how we have it set up.
Say we have 10 computers people use for work.  
6 of these computers will connect to a router then travel to the master switch then through another router.
The other 4 computers go straight to the switch and into a router.  

This is a pretty small company with only about 20 users.  So it doesn't get real complex.

Do all the computers go thru the same "Master Switch" and then out of the same router to internet?
yes they all head to this switch.
If everything is working, leave it alone. It sounds OK.
