    I just got UPC Horizon in, connected to the Horizon box I have a D-Link DIR655 router, and an Edimax repeater. All three devices are linked with Cat 6 cable but is there a way I can have them putting out the wi-fi from the same network? at the moment they are all seperate networks i.e. Horizon ****** , Home Network (for the D-Link), and Cabin Internet (for the Edimax)

    Thanks

    You'll want to disable DHCP on the other two and just cascade them from the main device via CAT-6. What you're talking about is known as "bridging", and if the devices have a "Bridge" mode, use it. The authentication method (WPA, etc.) should be the same for each device.

    cheers....I presume you mean username and password?
