Wireless Network Question
    #15097627 - 09/18/11 07:29 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

If I have 2 of the same Wireless Netgrear 'G', one being in one area of my house and one being in the other, Can I put them in the same zone?  Like extending the signal strength from the original one to the rest of my house?

  • If you are doing this all wirelessly you will need to set the second router to client mode.
  • Disable DHCP on that router too.
  • Set the second router's IP address to be a valid entry within the first router's range.
  • Make sure the SSID is the same on both routers.
  • Make sure you are using 1, 6, and/or 11 as your channels. Do NOT put them on the same channel. That will cause dropped packets.


If possible, install DD-WRT on both routers too.

with loads and loads of details like that, it's easy to answer your question.

but just to humor everyone else, can you explain, how many computers? splitters? t.v.'s? one isp modem to use the internet I'm guessing? which computer did you set up the modem to use internet on? which computer did you set up each modem on? are both routers connected directly to the modem? is only one connected to the modem? do you have one router connected to the modem and another router connected to another router or to a computer? why do you want two routers?

if you had pictures of everything you had set up in your house, and a picture of each room you had this stuff set up in, it would make it a lot easier. it's ok that you don't, but without details it's hard to understand why you want to set up two routers in two different rooms. it's not a difficult thing to do by any means, but still it would be helpful to know why you need this.

if you have set up one, and you know the process for logging in to the router to match up the i.p. configuration, then you know the second router should be no problem. just connect and set up, if you have the manual it's easier. but anyway just give out with the details. i'll be gone tonight but everyone else on here is always eager to help :wink:



none of that information is necessary.

alright yes just make one a repeater

http://www.unix.ms/netgear/

wasn't trying to be sarcastic earlier, just wasn't sure of what you wanted. that link is pretty close to what you are trying to do, except you don't need any comtrend hardware, just standard ethernet. It's basically the same thing

>log into master router >configure
>log into access point 1 >configure
>log into access point 2 >configure

quote:

"You don’t have to set the same SSID on all of the access points, but if you do you will see one big network instead of three separate ones."

whatever makes it simpler for you

you should be able to skip logging in to your i.s.p. modem, but make sure your i.p. configuration matches. then yeah what frith says. I guess it doesn't matter why you are trying to increase your access point, just wondering if you are trying to stream something to your t.v., because in that case you probably wouldn't need to create a repeated access point, but that would depend on what has been run through your wall. I would assume like most houses you have cat cable running through your walls. pretty standard.
