Hi all I have a Linksys RV042 set up as a router and connected to a DSL broadband connection. I have another laptop, wireless enabled and wondered, rather than hard wiring it to the RV042 can I add the wireless (spare router WRT54G) to the RV042 and then access the internet via my laptop etc....???
Thanks
Adam
Yes. Just connect the two routers together via their LAN ports (not the wan port on either one) , disable the DHCP server in the wireless unit, and you're off. I have several routers in my house & garden doing just this.
That's really cool, done that and can now connect to my network. Thought I must have missed something..
Cheers
Adam
