Hi

I have 2 Linksys WRT54G routers, and i want to use one of them as a range expander to increase the range of my network.

Only one of the routers will be connected to the internet and the other one will be set up to incresse the range of the network - I don't want to connect both of them, the second one should just act like a repeater.

Does anyone know if this is posible and how to do it.

I've tried several 'range expanders' and the only thing that works 100% is a CAT-5 between two access points.

I'm sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear.
