Hi all-

I'm hoping that I can find some help here. I have a wireless network set up using a Linksys G router, and am hoping to extend the range with a second Linksys router I have found. I am planning on connecting the two directly to each other. I have read what forum posts there have been here on what my steps for configuring the second router to do this would be, but I'm still a little lost.
Do both routers have to be powered on as I'm configuring the second router with a different IP Address? Do I have to be able to connect to the internet while setting the new IP Address?
I really know very little about this sort of stuff, so if someone would be willing to assume I know nothing and walk me through it, I would be very grateful.
Thanks so much in adance for any advice or information.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
