Is it possible to daisy chain Wireless routers to make one large network?

Hi,


I was wondering if it was possible to daisy chain wireless routers so if you have one one one side of a large building, you can run an ethernet cable to the other side where there is no reception and daisy chain 2 wireless routers of the same kind (802.11 g).





Thanks and I appreciate it.

No! 2 routers will conflict. You will need a wireless access point, this connects to the router by cable and provides additional wireless cover. You can add further access points if you still can't cover the whole building.
Reply:Yes you can but disable the DHCP on the second router and enable it only on the Primary Router.





If you don't want to run a long cable, you can use a wireless repeater which will rebroadcast the signal from the first router without a cable between them. DD-WRT routers with v24 firmware have this ability.

You can also use a powerline adapter like this, which uses your buildings AC power line infrastructure as an ethernet cable.

You can buy other satellites too.

Reply:I agree with the answer above sounds like you want to set up your own little wirless mesh.


Just turn off dhcp in one of the routers you want to use as your AP should work fine.
