As above.WHy would you want two? Does the wireless router also have a wired connection? If so, just put it into the spot where the wired router currently sits.
Presumably Aolynk DR814 / DR814Q... Smart Telecom, AoLink routers if that helps.
Cheers mathepac,As above.
1) Use the DSL port from the wired router to the wall socket (stays as is),
2) Physically reposition the wireless router close to the wired router and plug into an electrical outlet (sorry)
2a) Disconeect the DSL cable and dongle from the wireless router
3) Connect the wireless router to the wired router via the USB port
4) connect the PC with no wireless capability to the wireless router via the Ethernet port (LAN 10/100 port or LAN port)
5) Use wireless connection as before
All should work as before - this is my setup using a BT wired router with an Apple Airport Extreme wireless router, two wireless lap-tops, a hard-wired shared printer, a shared "disk-farm", and a directly connected hard-wired desktop.
HTH.
yupPresumably Aolynk DR814 / DR814Q
Cheers mathepac,
but is this case not just the same as using the wireless router as a wired and wireless...thus ruling out the need for the connections?
...
I still don't get why you need two routers. I don't think the VPN is an issue, as this is a layer on top of the existing network, and should not impact other simultaneous connections.If I or Mrs Pique is teleworking using the wired conection (in the home office) then the other can't use the wireless for surfing. Even if we use the wireless router as a wired router it's a no-no if the office conection is in use.
So...any ideas ?
A half-decent wireless router should definitely manage to get upstairs. I can pick up the wireless signal using my mobile phone half way down the road (at least 10 houses away).
The wireless routers with 802.11n wireless technology are supposed to have a greater range and signal strength. However, you would have to have a compatible 802.11n wireless card in your laptop/pc also to benefit from this.Could a different router emit a stronger signal ?
