"Q: I've got a house made out of lead. Well, 1945-style chicken wire plus plaster--it doesn't do well with 2.4Ghz. I wired my house with gigabit Ethernet. My main router is in the basement, Linksys WRT54GSv4, and a secondary router in my office on the 2nd floor, a Buffalo WHR-G54S. Both running Tomato 1.25.
"I want to have both running wireless on the same SSID, except that instead of using a wireless connection back to my main Linksys router, I want my Buffalo router to use a wired connection, to avoid unnecessary wireless traffic that the wired network can’t handle. Any ideas? - Peter"
