Hi All,
I'm trying to increase the signal of the wifi to the far rooms of my house so the kids can stream music at night...
I have a cable modem feeding a Linksys EA6500. The EA6500 attaches to a netgear GS116 gigabyte Ethernet switch which handles all the peripheral devices in my house...
I ran a line from the switch to the room where the new router is to be housed and tried hooking up an old netgear N600 which came formatted from my cable provider. I cant seem to get the second router to work, probably because I need to change settings so it can work with the IPs set up by the primary router...
So my questions:
Do I need to buy a new router or is it possible to reflash/hack the N600 so I can reconfigure?
If so, how should I do this?
All help is appreciated by both me and the kids!
Thanks,
Bryan
