Run a crossover cable from LAN port to LAN port. &nbsp;Disable DHCP on one. &nbsp;Put the same SSID on them. &nbsp;Seperate the channels by 5 (as in 1, 6). &nbsp;Put an IP on both for management like .1 as your router and .5 as your other AP. &nbsp;Set other settings as per your security policy (username, password, encryption, mac filtering).<br />

Easy.

If you have managed switches - or a flat network - you could trunk a vlan across so the same vlan is accessible from both locations. &nbsp;Then, plug the AP's into the VLAN. &nbsp;Same effect.

My question.<br />
<br />
I have a wireless router that I plug into a test server. &nbsp;I have another wireless router in another dept that I would like to &quot;bridge&quot; to thus allowing me access to the internet.<br />
<br />
The router that I would like to use as the bridge is a Linksys WAG54GS<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Can I bridge a wireless router to another wireless router?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
