hello, i have a question regarding wireless routers. i have two wireless routers, a linksys WRT54GS and a D-link DI-524. how i have it set up currently, i have my linksys router enabled with DHCP and that is also my firewall t words my internet connection. the problem is that the linksys router cant cover the entire house with wireless. what i would like to do is somehow sync the two routers both wirelessly and also through the lan ports.

i have tried to disable DHCP on my DI-524 but all it does is create a automatic private ip address when a PC is connected through its LAN port. you can emulate the DI-524's firmware here:

i dont know what i have to do to get it to do what i want!

i have a lot of shares between PCs and i would need to be able to connect to them through both routers. i created a model image of how i want my network to be here: http://dtechd.com/network.jpg


any help would make me happy :D

crossover cable from internet routers lan port to second routers lan [not wan] port. Disable dhcp on 2nd router and it will flow from the first.

Are you ready for where Microsoft wants you to go today?

Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
