I have two Linksys wireless routers.
The FIRST is a WRT100 that is connected to the Cable modem.
With a LAN IP of 192.168.251.1 and DHCP turned on (range
192.168.251.100 to 149).
The second is a WRT54G.
With a LAN IP of 192.168.251.7 and DHCP turned on (range
192.168.251.200 to 149).
I would like to setup the WRT54G on the network and utilize its
wireless capability to provide a wireless access point. I have a CAT5
connection available at the remote end to connect back to the WRT100.
How can I configure the WRT54G to accomplish this?
You want seemless roaming, or just two wap's with different names?
I dropped the idea of seemless roaming and went with multiple ssid's/waps
on mine (dhcp on all, but different ssid's Like PPinMD PPinMDB PPinMDC
etc) since they are on the same subnets (3rd octet number) but different
last addr's (4th octet number) they can see everything else on the
network, should be no problem... for multiple ssid's use the router
inputs/outputs, do not use the wan input at all.....
Not sure why you didn't go with seamless however to each their own.
Anyway to the OP, just turn off the DHCP server on the WRT54G and give it
the same SSID and security information as the WRT100. Plug your ethernet
cable into a LAN port on both ends and you should be good to go.
