Hello all,
I picked up a Netgear WGR614 for really cheap ($19) with the idea of
using it as a range extender (or WAP, if that would be the correct
term). I've got another WGR614 that I've been using as a router from
our cable internet connection, serving both wired and wireless
machines. It works well but I'd like to add the second WGR614 to
provide a stronger wireless signal in the parts of the house where the
signal from the existing WGR614 is a bit weak. Any ideas how I can go
about this?
I've connected the second WGR614 to the first one using a wired
connection, plugged into the second WGR614's "internet" port. But I'm
having a bit of trouble working out how to configure the second
WGR614. I've tried various options for DHCP, etc. but can't quite get
there. (Leaving DHCP for the second WGR614 turned on sort-of works,
but it seems laggy and unreliable.) The two WGR614s are configured to
use different 802.11 channels.
I've tried googling but haven't found any instructions for this
specific model. Anybody out there who has successfully daisy-chained
two WGR614's and would be willing to share their wisdom? Thanks.
