I am setting up a wireless connection between our 2 office buildings. We are using a different ISP at each office. I want to use this as a backup internet connection. ex. if one ISP goes down, that site will be able to use the other sites connection over the wireless connection. Does anyone know how I can do this? Here is my setup - location 1. Windows 2000 Server, switch, router with dsl box connected to WAN port. Location 2. - Cable modem connected to WAN port of wirless router, switch. I plan on plugging in the wireless routers into the switch at each location. This should allow for file transfer, etc. between the locations correct? Is there anyway to set it up to allow internet sharing between them also? So if one goes down I have the other? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
 
Location 1 is using a MaxGate - U Gate 3200 router and Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Location 2 is using a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Does that help?
