I will try to add an article on this topic, as I am getting several requests.

You mentioned using two wireless routers in access point mode connected by ethernet — this is the configuration that would make the most sense for me, as I have a long ethernet cable spanning the length of the house. But how do I set this up? I don’t see instructions here. I’d like them to be on the same subnet so that wired or wireless devices on the second router can see wired or wireless devices (e.g. computers) on the first router.

Thanks!

Have taken Internet to new level in home. No more DIrect TV!! Just internet. Since I’ve made change I’m pleased with livingroom viewing via computer Internet, Hulu, and Netflix. Using a three year old build desktop. With 2.0 dual processor. Platinum fatality sound blaster and ordered a new video card to hopefully better streams and refresh rates to Visio 55′ True LED TV. I have to say the streaming from Visio Technology 240 fps and smoothing technology is fantastic! Hoping the upgrade in Video Card made more for streaming will get computer up to par. I’m working on getting bedroom set up with older laptop and Dell 22′ monitor. Have ordered an used docking on eBay. I do need to get way better Ethernet to room though for streams to work worth watching. I have a Encore repeater I’m not using in garage being it interfered with controlling garage door opener. Going to try in bedroom to see if a repeater direct connect to laptop in bedroom. Right now through old Dell Laptop WIFI I am at 2 maybe three bars. I was debating just running Ethernet cable to each room through attic. Hoping to fi d info on a way to juice up connection through hub going through to rest of house. So far it seems limiting line trasmittance is a top priority. Is there anything brand or add on that would increase Internet flow from hub.

Maggie, any response or any solution you have about connecting to which SSID ?

I’m now reading above.. I followed the instructions for doing the wireless repeater from the DD-WRT site.. and it said to put in a different SSID for the other router.. the DD-WRT one.. so I did.. So when I “view wireless networks” I see both.. That’s why I don’t know which one to connect my “far away” devices to. I guess it’s easier having the SSID’s different.. then I know which router is which… but if I should change it – let me know and I will.. Thanks again.. Sorry for the two questions!!

Hi there – I set up my router as DD-WRT – as you suggested.. but here’s my question.. that router is displaying the Virtual SSID.. So – do I connect my “far away” machines to the virtual ssid – or just all to the original ssid?
Thanks very much – MAggie

Same SSID for both physical and virtual interface works but many people have problem with this. If you have an issue with roaming try different SSIDs.
