Jim,
Thanks for the reply. Your method actually seems to be more in line
with what I am truly wanting to do, but didn't think was possible.
I didn't think I could have two routers on the same network both
serving as a router. I'm not a networking guy, myself, so I don't
understand the

I just signed up for the ATT UVerse service and it will be installed
in a couple of weeks. I am receiving the 2-wire residential gateway

the purposes of my Slim Devices Squeezebox (wireless connection). I

Unfortunately the ISP asures me that I can't do that. I actually do not
sue the video on demand at all so maybe I should just give it a go. Not
sure how to find the log in details though?
Is there a way to use the 2 routers separately? Heavy usage on my
laptop for example stops the SB3 working.

No that would cause interference. When you run multiple AP's you use

Hi rbl
How much have you tried to use your own LinkSys router? I suspect the
ISP one is only using some QoS for the on demand data. If you

Two ways.
1. Use the ISP router to talk only to the Linksys. Connect the
Linksys wan port to one of the ISP output ports. (Configure the
Linksys to a different ip address range - this may not be necessary -
I'm not sure). Turn off the ISP wireless or use a different SSID (and

Thanks!
Is there an advantage between the two?
And is using 2 routers better than using just one (in terms of
interference and bandwidth, not distance)?

I have also read that if you give both routers the same names and WEP
encryption then you get a stronger signal.
Wifi doesn't work that way. What will happen is devices will tend to
use the the stronger signal, which will likely be your Linksys.
What you could do is
I can't tell you how to follow my suggestion below on your ISP router.
But this is what I have done, and it may work for you.
I have two Airport Extreme base stations, one set up as a remote (or is
it a relay, I forget). To make sure that my Squeezebox connects only to
the nearer one, I have MAC
