How to extend wireless range upstairs with spare AP?

Anybody notice a fault in the forum software?
Quoting a previous post (in Firefox) sometimes mixes up the quotes in certain posts.
Second time I've seen it.
Might be worth letting an MSE moderator know about this.

I've not noticed it using IE7, does it only happen in FF? I think the entire site is getting a revamp anyway (already in the works).

Thanks for the advice, however the situation has changed somewhat. Now the only working BT socket is too far away from the study with 2 desktop computers and we can't figure out how to get them to connect to the internet....

maybe this diagram could help explain things.....

All would work if the linksys could connect to the voyager network via wireless, and then connect via ethernet to the 2 desktops, and bringing them into the network too Dunno how and if this is possible tho



ps am exploring the WDS thingy

The WRT54G does not support repeater mode. Why not just extend the BT line to where you want to use the PC's?

i think that if the BT line is extended to the PCs, then the laptop will get bad wireless reception. of course, that problem is slightly easier to solve with extra antennae, but both the bt voyager and the laptop do not have removable (exchangeable) antenna....

nevermind can always move laptop around


update
in the end, i updated the firmware with a third party one and am using WDS:D
thanks!
