    How can I connect two wireless subnets each using WRT45G routers?

    Oh, and if your ReplayTV has a static IP address assigned to it then you either have to change your entire network over to that subnet or do some fancy networking stuff. Personally, with only a couple of computers, I'd go with changing the subnet. E.g. if your ReplayTV has a static IP of...

    How can I connect two wireless subnets each using WRT45G routers?

    Hi jwbarrington: It sounds like you should be able to use your second router as basically a client. To do this: 1. Plug your computer into the 2nd linksys router's ethernet port. 2. Log on to the linksys' GUI 3. While you're at the Setup tab, either disable the DHCP server (I'm not sure this...

    How can I connect two wireless subnets each using WRT45G routers?

    Oh, and a final note. Yes, Sveasoft's firmware does allow a power increase, apparently, but the idea of 13 mW to 84 mW might conjure up visions of sharing your internet connection with your buddy across town... in fact I would say that the practical increase in terms of distance is perhaps 50%...

    How can I connect two wireless subnets each using WRT45G routers?

    OK, I know it's been a few weeks, but here is my experience with the Sveasoft stuff. 1. Everything Bill says about Sveasoft's firmware seems to be true. After a couple of days of fiddling and orienting my brain to a new type of networking I have true WDS up and going with two WRT54Gs. When all...

    How can I connect two wireless subnets each using WRT45G routers?

    Thanks for the suggestion, bcastner (from reading through some of the threads I thought you might be the one to respond!) I didn't describe the scenario sufficiently: The two routers are in different buildings, and I would like to use the secondary router as a kind of wireless network client to...

    How can I connect two wireless subnets each using WRT45G routers?

    I've read a few other related threads but nothing I've tried so far seems to work. Here's my intended set-up: 1. I have a main router, a WRT45G LinkSys router (192.168.1.1), connecting to the internet and to a small network (192.168.1.). DHCP is enabled, though it doesn't have to be as it's a...
