| This is my home network right now
Upstairs Room 1 (Linksys Router + Desktop Computer)
Upstairs Room 2 (Laptop Computer)
Basement (Laptop Computer + Desktop Computer)
I would like to add Wireless Networking to my Network.....my question is
......if i buy the Linksys Wireless Router.....and plug it in to my
network.....Will it fight with the Linksys 4 Port Router i have right
now.....Or will It realize there already is a router and basically just act
like a Hub???
Yes i know that i can just buy the Linksys Wireless Access Point......but
they are both the same price at BestBuy......and Plus i plan on adding more
computers/Playstation2.....I just wanna make before i buy it
Thanks
Rob

My Linksys works fine as a wireless access point with a 4 port hub without
the WAN connected.

| It will probably work but if you are using non routable addresses they will
not forward. Also your dhcp scopes will probably not forward across the
router. You could try it but i think you will have more problems than it is
worth.
