Good morning all,
I have a wireless router in my home, installed by Verizon. Let's call the name of the network ABC12. I have hardwired one of the ports on the Verizon wireless router to one of the CAT-5 outlets in my kids' playroom. Can I use my old Linksys wireless router, plugged into the CAT-5 outlet, as a signal booster? If I can, can anyone point me to directions? I must not be googling correctly, because I can't find anything on this online.
FWIF, when I try to do this, I can see two wireless networks, ABC12 and DEF45, which was the name of the network I used when I was using the Linksys router. If I connect to DEF45, I can't see the internet. So somehow I need to get the Linksys router to use the ABC12 network?
Thanks for any links, war stories, or references, Kathryn
