Hello, I have purchased two Linksys WRT54G Wireless routers with the intentions of using one as a router and the other as an access point. I am starting to think that I made this purchase foolishly thinking that the two routers would be able to communicate wirelessly. I went into this thinking that it is a wireless device. It sends and receives wireless communications with other devices. I had no reason to think that it would not work properly connecting to another router, the way that I wanted it to. I need the routers to communicate wirelessly. I have a wiring closet where all communications enter my condo. From here I am going to have one of the routers connected to my cable modem and in my office upstairs I want to have the second router acting as an access point. My question is how can I configure two Linksys WRT54G wireless routers, to communicate wirelessly with each other? This has got to be possible; I can disable most of the router functionality on the device. And after all it is just another wireless device. I thank you for any help that you can supply me with, Ryan W. PS: This is all because the Linksys WRT45G was $89 on sale when I purchased it and its access point counterpart was $130. The router has four connections and the WAP has one. It seemed like a no-brainer at the time. I know I can now pick them both up for $79, don’t remind me.

i could be wrong, but I think routers can only communicate wirelessly with its clients. They can't use it for getting their WAN connection. The first router is already a wireless router...just have your computers connect to it (you only need one router). Now, if the signal is too weak to reach the other computers, then you'd need to think about access points.

On the earlier version of the Linksys Wireless Router non-G you cannot use 2 of them router to router. It was buried somewhere in the documentation. I was trying to the same as you.

I have the same problem that you Can you tell me, what did you do ? Do you replace one of them for a WAP54G ?
