dual router set-up

    Hey guys.

    I have a perlico adsl wireless router which is quite weedy, I have a nice lynksis wireless router I wish to install in order to get the two to work together.

    Im aware that i can link the two via ethernet cable and which would result in two wireless networks, and that is fine, since I am living in a fairly old stone house in which the signal dies off quite easily in the next room from the adsl router. I could place the lynksys router near where I need it and get a long ethernet cable, but I would like to link the two wirelessly and have one network instead of two. does anyone know how i would go about doing that??

    Thanks guys.

    2 ways you could do this.

    Disable Wireless on your existing router and just use wireless on the linksys.

    Have wireless working on both routers and give them the same SSID , put them on different channels , that way you will have working wireless in all parts of the house.
    Either way just join them with an Ethernet cable and disable DHCP on the linksys , it will work as an access point then and you can use the remaining Etherner ports to plug in extra wired devices.
