| Re: Extending a 2Wire DSL wireless modem/router Did you tired upping the power and changing the channels? My preference when setting up a 2wire for wireless is setting the channel to 10 and the power to 9, that gives me more coverage.
If you want to setup an another access point using one of the wired setup in another room, then don't get another router as it just causes more issues, instead just get an access point, name it the same as your current wireless and setup the security just the same as the 2wire, that way the access point would cover one area of your house while the actual 2wire modem itself would cover the other area without loosing connection (as it'll just jump from one access point to another).
If you do want to use a different router than your best bet would be to put the 2wire into bridge and setting up the router to do PPPoE. |
