wireless access point router to wap router?

[webslinger]

Can I use a wireless access point router (BEFW11S4 linksys) in one room, to talk to another WAP router (WRT54G linksys), which is hooked to a cable modem, in another room?

so if I have 2 locations of computers or gaming systems, instead of each computer away from the main computer room having a wireless card , couldnt i just hook it to this WAP router (wich had 4 cat5's in the back) and be able to get on the internet?

Allmost all Regular Wireless Router can not talk to another Wireless Router.

Link: Wireless Network - Configuration Modes. (http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html)

However few Routers do have the capacity to be configured as Clients, and talk to a Gateway Router (Buffalo Tech. as an example).

The Linksys WRT54 can be hacked to be able to talk to another Router.

I do not deal with hacking.

Google for the term Hack WRT54 you probably will come up with something.

:cool:

you're talking about repeating or bridging modes. you cannot do that with those two waps. you would need a wireless bridge instead.

I think you can do it with the Linksys Wireless routher with SRX technology...

but i havent heard of any other modems...
