I have a network at a campground that I am trying to provide wireless service to. I used to use an AyrStone Ayrmesh antenna that cast a signal all over the grounds (six acres) but due to tree growth over the past few years, the signal is not getting to some of the campsites. I have a DSL connection coming in connecting to a wireless N router. I have ran two lines (CAT6) from the hardwired router that terminate in identical wireless N routers, (one about 250' from primary and the other about 180'). I want to make sure I am up on the steps necessary to connect the two new routers to the original one. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, I am a system tech for a large medical organization but I don't dabble in the wireless too often. Mainly laptops using our wireless network and hardwired Workstations so I understand most of the lingo but I figure whet the heck, ask for help. thanks.

You just need to run them as AP. If you actually have identical routers they are DSL so you have little other option. Pretty much it is hook them lan-lan, turn off dhcp, assign a non conflicting management address and configure the wireless. The wireless generally should use different channels but at the distance you have it may make no difference.
