Re: two wrt54g routers Hi Robert:
I assume you want a __separate__ subnet for your LAN. (The 54G has a 4-port Lan network--it's just on the same network as the wireless.) You can use two 54g's to accomplish this through Linksys's basic web interface. In general, you'd: 1. Turn off wireless on the second 54g (making it a simple router) 2. Change its LAN's IP subnet so it's different from the first unit's (i.e., not 192.168.1.*) 3. Make its WAN connection DHCP (not static) 4. Connect the second unit's WAN port to the one of the first unit's LAN ports First 54G: LAN - 192.168.1.1 (Linksys's standard Lan) WAN - Your ISP's ip address Second 54G: LAN - 192.168.2.1 (your second LAN, manually set, with the Wifi Option off) WAN - Set to DHCP Your wireless network will appear 192.168.1.* Your wired network will give out addresses like 192.168.2.* Dana is right, you can do this with OpenWRT. More importantly, I'm pretty sure with OpenWRT you can do it using only __one__ unit. I hope that's not all gibberish. Caveat emptor...
