Hey Brian, Yep, you can setup up to different AP's and give one x.x.x.0-125 and the other x.x.x.126-255 and it will work just fine. Have both AP's point to your Internet connection for a gateway.
ie. Internet Router IP 192.168.0.1 AP1: IP 192.168.0.2, Gateway 192.168.0.1, DHCP set to give out 192.168.0.3-125 AP2: IP 192.168.0.126, Gateway 192.168.0.1, DHCP set to give out 192.168.0.127-255 You can actually run each AP under a different subnet if you want to as well. You just need to tell your Internet Router that both subnets are on the inside. It will then handle all of the routing. This is actually how I have my network setup at home for Guest access. You can actually use QoS to do what you want as well. Just give your HTPC's the highest priority. You would only need one AP then :) Julian (Sabre) ---- Julian On Sun, Jun 12, 2011 at 6:45 PM, Brian Weeden <[email protected]>wrote: > Next month we're moving to a new house, one that we will be renting for a > few years.
