Using MN500 as Access Point w/ existing MN500

Hello-
I have seen a few posts regarding using an additional MN
500 as an access point on an existing MN500. Hopefully
someone can help. I have set the new MN500 to bridging
mode and changed the IP address to 192.168.2.2 I
changed the DHCP settings on my existing MN500 so this
address is not available. I then ran a cable from the
new MN500 modem port to port 1 on the existing box. I
can't seem to get this to work. I want to keep one box
in the basement and the other upstairs. Can this be
done?

Do I keep the network names the same of change them? Any
ideas, thoughts etc. appreciated.

Thanks,

JT
