To All;
I've been lurking here for some time for a possible soulution to our
problem, but no one seems to be in our exact situation. Here's the picture:
We're in a remote Canadian setting with a satellite internet service
that is accessed from a bunkouse by an SMC2804WBR 'G' wireless router.
Everything works great and everyone's marvelling at the convenience of
Wi-Fi..
Just out of range is an office building that we also want to access the
same internet service. To do that we picked up a Linksys WRK54G wireless
router. We've located the router about midway between the office and the
bunkhouse - that should easily eliminate the issue of range. To turn the
Linksys router into an access point, we figured that the Linksys has to have
DHCP disabled and the SSID assigned the same as that of the SMC.
Right?
But we're confused about the rest:
Do the two routers need to be physically connected by a LAN cable? If so,
that would be no problem, but we're not clear on which connections to make.
Or maybe this topology won't work at all (?)
Would we be better off standardizing on a single equipment manufacturer?
Hope you can help.
