I have owned a WHR-HP-G54 for a couple of years and it has worked flawlessly!
I would like to buy a second WHR-HP-G54 in order to get more range of access. Need help to confirm my plans would work and exactly how to set this up.
Location A: my Comcast cable entry point, my Motorola cable modem (SBV5250) connected to my current WHR-HP-G54, and my Windows XP primary working location with Cat5 connection to the WHR-P-G54 and the Motorola cable modem. Downstairs lower corner of basement is the physical location in my home for location A.
Location B: is a second computer (Vista). Location B is connected to Location A via Cat 5 cable. Right now this Cat5 cable is connecting the computer at location B to the WHR-HP-G54. Location is upstairs at opposite corner of the house from Location A (about 100 feet distance on the Cat5 cable).
I also tend to roam around the house with a laptop and access web via wireless connection to the WHR-HP-G54 at Location A. Problem is I get very good wireless connection downstairs level, but not very good wireless connection upstairs.
Since I happen to have the Cat 5 cable connection between Location A and Location B, I was thinking I could add a second WHR-HP-G54 at location B. Then I would have the two WHR-HP-G54's connected via the existing Cat5 connection (about 100 feet by the way between two levels/two locations). Both I would hope would then each provide wireless coverage.
Benefit would be now have a second WHR-HP-G54 at the upstairs location B giving me much better wireless connection upstairs. I assume my Vista workstation at location B would then just Cat5 cable to the now added WHR-HP-G54 (no sense making that one a wireless connection).
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide,
Jon
