The two identical DSL wireless router modems that you have must have the firmware built in to support doing this. You have to determine that by reading the manual, or looking around the user configuration interface and see what kind of cofiguration options you have. You might try posting a description of these units (make, model) and maybe somebody experienced with that specific unit might respond to give you a definate answer. My guess would be no. Most DSL modems are made to do just what they do and don't usually have a wide range of configuration. As JackR mentioned, they need to have a "bridge mode" capability, or the ability to be used as a wireless "range extender" would also do what you are describing. Both of these are not the kind of functions usually included in DSL modems.

Hi,
We cannot put the other wireless modem as repeater or in access point. It should support the function as few products do.
Can I have the model numbers and the brand name of the DSL modem.
Thanks and Regards l8ians
