Connecting two wireless networks

[magunn]

How can I connect two separate wireless networks (each has its own router). Only one has a broadband connection and I want to share that connection across both networks.
The two routers are some distance apart can I make one the master (DHCP server) and the other some sort of repeater

Hi!

I just had the same problem, where my neighbour had an internet connection and he wanted to share this with me. I got one AccessPoint/Router i my window wich has a direct line of sight to his access Pint/Router.

First I could not get it to work with WPA Keystrings So I chose to go with WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy) Use the same keystring to generate the keys on both AP's and use key 1 for instance. You also have to set up a WDS Link for the internal radio. Check if your AP Supports this! You may or may not have to enter the MAC addresses when setting up WDS. But this is definently the way to go.

!Remember Ony use DHCP on one of the AP's (Prefferably the one hosting the internet connection). And keep your equipment in the same IP range.

Magunn,

Double-posting doesn't get answers any quicker. It just confuses things, if different approaches are explored.
