Re: Connecting 2 wireless routers
Hi Joel.
First thing is you should always start your own thread. By tacking on to an older question to which only I responded, only I and Philip see your question. This drastically limits the number of people who might be able to come up with an answer, for example someone who might own the equipment you have specified and therefore might have an answer at the ready. Unfortunately, I do not.
I have studied your manuals and neither specify such a function. That said, it might just work. To avoid overlap interference, set the wireless channels as far apart as possible - say ch 6 and ch 11. Disable / turn everything off except the wireless in the unit which will be the "slave", connect them both via a cat5 plugged into LAN ports on both (not WAN), and see what happens. If no success, try a crossover cable or one end into the WAN port, but I don't think this will be necessary. I really don't know if it will be possible, but interested to hear the outcome.

p.s. To refer back to Philips original question, these units don't offer dual mode either (AP / Station). I have a ZyXEL unit which does - USB G-220 (From the box - Working as a Wireless USB Client or an Access Point at Your Choice). I can use this as a wireless card, click once and change it to Access Point mode, whereby it will allow other pc's to connect and share the available resources - internet shared via network card or modem, file sharing etc., so it can be done!
