I have a Netgear WGR614 providing wireless-G access in my house. I would like to add another access point at the other end of the house to improve coverage in some high-traffic areas with poor signal. I have a hardwired connection available to the new access point's location.
My plan is to use another WGR614 with: (1) DHCP turned off; (2) the WAN port empty; (3) a static IP in the original WGR614's subnet; (4) the same SSID and password info on both WGR614s; and (5) different channels for each WGR614
One complication: the new WGR614 would be connected to a 5-port switch. That switch (A Netgear FS605? Maybe a predecessor model?) is connected to the existing WGR614.
I would appreciate feedback on any problems I might expect before purchasing and starting the install.
