Wired wirelessly

Anyone gotten 2 wireless routers to connect to each other? I've got a Belkin54g and a Linksys11b and can't get them to talk for the life of me. The manual for the Belkin says it can be done, but is only been tested with other Belkin devices, of course.

It should work because they do not work like routers at that point but more like bridges... I have not done it though personally...

I've thought about doing that, but I figured you'd have to wire them together...it would be great to figure out how to do it wirelessly...then I can have two access points in my house for better signal strength. Let us know if you figure it out!

Pat,

If I remember correctly from my Linksys, there is an option in the Advanced Options tab from the web interface that lets you set it as an extra access point. It will then no longer act as a router and only as an additional access point on the network.

Wish I could remember more. I will try to check at home tonight if I get home early enough and double check.

Pat,

I found a reference to this question on the Linksys site. It definitely can be done.

If I'm not mistaken those instructions talk about connecting the 2 devices physically. Someone is going to bring in another router (a Belkin I hope) so that we can try it again. I'll keep you guys posted.

Has to be 2 of the same unit on this cheap stuff. Get into to some air bridges and proxim stuff and you can mix and match.


if you check this photo out this was pulling off some dudes linksys about 300 yards away from my duplex.

I couldn't get it to bridge withe my WAP11 linksys so it is directly to my comp.
