   Hello,

   I recently read your article “Connecting two wireless routers.” Thank you so very much for this clear and detailed guide. I was able to wirelessly bridge a linksys wrt54g2 (stock firmware) and an asus 520gu running dd-wrt. Your guide could not have been clearer. Although I ran into a minor hiccup (had to add the asus’ wireless mac to the gateway’s mac filter), this was easily fixed.

   This task had been a challenge since I bought the asus a few months ago. Today, I have finally overcome what seemed like an impossible task.

   Thank you so much.

   I was looking for advice on extending my wireless network. I’ve a LinksysE4200 and it only covers 60% of the house. A neighbor has a linsys router w/ no security oj it that provides a strong signal in parts of the house. I’ve tried using the E4200 as the primary router (where CableModem signal comes in) and then using a Netgear Powerline 200 adapter to provide a line connection to a 2nd Linksys router in another part of the house. The 2nd (child router) is using the same SSID as parent and I tried to cut off the DHCP reset from this router.
   The solution seemed to work at first, but then slows down as my devices seem to get confused and don’t reset very well.

   Can you advise on how to fix or alternate solution?

   Thanks
   Ken
