Connecting 2 Dlink-614+ on one network

Here is my situation. I have one Dlink-614+ on 3rd floor connecting to
the cable modem but the wireless signal can hardly reach the 1st
floor. I am wondering 1. can I setup another Dlink-614+ as AP on the
1st floor? 2. How?

Does anyone do this before?

thanks in advance

Yves

Have you looked into using a antenna? Check out www.cantenna.com. The
DI-614+ will use the rp-sma female connectors

Yves, yes you can... I have a 604 in the basement and the 614 on the
first floor to provide me the AP.

1) first #1-614 (connected to Cable) and set to 192.168.0.1, then cat
5 out to #2
2) connect cat5 to #2-614 port 4
3) you will now be connected, but only to reach the router pages.
4) type in 192.168.0.2 (this is the IP for #2) and turn off DHCP
5) you now have a AP + 4 port switch

Basically #1 is the router and DHCP assigning the IP addresses, and
the #2 is converted to a switch giving out the ip's and managing the
traffic

Later...

You can use a D-Link 900AP to repeat the 614+ signal and extend the
range of your wireless network,
