setup for wireless question

pk_volt · 02-18-2006, 11:02 AM

So i had a wireless router downstairs, but I mainly use my laptop upstairs, so the reception goes to shit (2 bars)

Now, I have two wireless routers, one dlink and the other a netgear.

the cable modem is downstairs.

I tried connecting an output port from downstair's router to a wireless router upstairs, but it just doesn't work.

The only thing I got to work was to directly connect the cable modem to the wireless router upstairs.

Do you guys know of any ways to inter-connect two routers?

Can you put one of the routers in repeater mode?

Are you actually running a cable between the two routers? If so connect them by using both of the routers regular ports then turn off the secondary routers dhcp server.
