 |
Because of location phone tethering/hotspot is the most affordable high speed internet or my wife and I. I have a Linksys WRT-54G v2.0 and a second (unsupported) Linksys router.
Here is what I want to do. First, I want to use the WRT-54G as a means to connect to our phones simultaneously (as we leave and come home) as a bridge or reapeater. Then have the WRT-54G connect to the second router as the second router's "ISP", and use the second router as the "home wifi/network.
I hope this is clear...I will load a picture. Just to make sure.
Is this possible?
If I posted this in the wrong location or in the wrong way I'm sorry. I read all the stickies, peacock, and wiki, and I think I ended up even more confused.

I think this would work if the WRT is set up as a Client (or Client Bridge), connecting to the phones' hotspots using the same SSID (just probably don't have both hotspots active simultaneously...?), then the other router connects wired as a wireless Access Point.
