Re: Help connecting 2 routers wirelessly...

Anyone know how to configure
the Linksys router so it acts as a "booster" of the signal as opposed to
a separate network?



Not familiar with this one's interface, but the main things I've
learned (thru stupidity!) is:

1) connect the ethernet cable to the LAN of the Linksys AP, not the
WAN. Very important.
2) turn off DHCP at the router turned AP. You don't want it to assign
the addresses. Let the Extreme handle all that.
3) Assign the linksys it's own address on the LAN - something in the
Extreme's subnet, but not in it's pool of DHCP.
4)Give the linksys the same SSID and encryption that the Extreme uses,
so your pcs can roam from one to the other.
5) Put the Linksys on a different channel.
