Hello,

I am attempting to set up, if possible, a wireless connection from a computer located in another room, connected to a Netgear MR814 router, to my Westell 327W DSL router/modem located within another area. Both routers have wireless capabilities, but I am basically attempting for both wireless routers to "talk" to each other so that I can access the Internet from a computer in another area of the house. I believe that this is possible, but I need some further guidance as to what I should do. I have done some research, and have found that I may need to ensure that the MR814 has the same SSID as the 327W, and that the MR814 needs to be in Client mode. Again, I am not certain of other settings that may need to be done, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
