cordell383 Posted January 30, 2009 CID Share Posted January 30, 2009 First I have a network with one Linksys WRT54G v2.2 (firmware DD-WRT) connected to 2 wired PCs. Next, upstairs I have 3 wireless PCs all working together... I want to add 2 more PCs. One is wireless already, that one is easy.... Now the question is can I hook another wired PC to another WRT54G v5 with stock firmware upstairs and connect to the Router downstairs......If it is possible, can hook a Xbox360 to the one up stairs too... Now I looked into it earlier and under Wireless> Basic Settings> Wireless mode in the DD-WRT router if i change that to client I think it sounds like it should work but cant find the setting in the stock firmware one.. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
816_1443013898 Posted January 30, 2009 CID Share Posted January 30, 2009 I take it you want the two to comunicate wirelessly.....like WDS mode. Why not put ddwrt on the second wrt54g ver5.it's supported I would have sugested Tomato Firmware.....but the wrt54 ver5 and newer arn't supported with that. I run 2 wrt54gl's Tomato Firmware in WDS/Access point mode at over 800 feet apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
