A "static address" should be irrelevant. Since you stated that the modem is assigning internal addresses via DHCP it's obviously NATing the public address. You should be able to plug another WAP into your existing network without much difficulty, just make sure the SSID is different. Also keep in mind that if they are both physically close together that they'll probably interfere with each other. Try setting the transmit power to a low setting so that the receivers don't get swamped by the other transmitter and move them as far apart as you can.

I have broadband service that assigns a static address for me. I am currently using a wireless router AP with the static address and the router's DCHP feature to provide service to the wireless receivers on my home network. Can I tap off (splice) the signal from the broadband modem to another wireless router AP that will be using a different hardware address, wireless channel, and ssid than the existing wireless AP? I wish to have a redundant, second network that works off my single, existiing broadband service. Thanks, ------------------------ Yahoo!
