| Linksys WRT54G and a BEFSR81
Hi, I have a Linksys WRT54G and a BEFSR81 that I would like to use together. Is there anyway to connect these to routers so I can have wireless access and still utilize my wired network. I have 8 wired devices (5 PC's + 1 Xbox 360 + 1 PS2 + 1 Print server) and I have 3 wireless devices
The WRT54G came with the new cable modem install, (I switched from DSL), I would like to put the WRT54G after the cable modem and connect the BEFSR81 to the WRT54G. I have tried setting this up and I can't get the devices connected to the BEFSR81 to see the internet.
Can this be done? What settings need changed?
Thanks for the help. James -- James Morton Photography |

| I got it going. Had to NOT use the WAN port on the second router device.
All is working great and WOW, the coverage the wireless offers is unbelievable! I still have excellent reception at greater than 400'!
Life is so much "funner" when all works well...lol -- James Morton Photography |

| Since your wireless is transmitting that well, make sure you have good security settings. -- If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand. |

I have WPA2 enabled with a strong alpha-numeric password and SSID broadcast turned off. I'm thinking about using MAC filtering. -- James Morton Photography |
