cairo join:2006-03-07 Camden, NY	WRT54G as a receiver??? I've got a wireless network set up at home that is working fine. On one of the desktops I'm trying to use a (second) Linksys to receive the main Linksys that is connected to the internet. My 'receive' Linksys sees the 'transmit' linksys but I can't log on. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I've never tried it but I would assume it's possible. Be sure to disable DHCP server and to disable SSID broadcasting. Correct me if I'm wrong ppl.

jsolo1 Premium join:2001-07-01	reply to cairo To the OP, Can you explain how everything is connected - what is connected from what port to what on the wrt54g. If you can, a graphic would be helpful. Are you trying to get 2 routers to communicate wirelessly with one another? -- Insanity is living in a state of disillusion.

As far as I know, the stock firmware of the WRT54G does not have site survey. How are you able to "See" the first router with the second one ? Never mind... You can easily accomplish the task by flashing both routers with DD-WRT firmware and programming them for WDS. This will allow the second router to provide the service that it receives from the first router both to it's wired ports, and wirelessly repeated. Ver 5 WRT54G if you have one is now programmable with DD-WRT.
