| - | In this tutorial, we will discuss different alternatives for linking routers in order to create wifi networks or just repeaters. | + | ==Page Moved== |
| - | | + | See here: [https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Linking_Routers Category:Linking Routers] |
| - | == Alternatives == | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === Access Point / Switch === | + | |
| - | Extend the Wireless access area using more routers, with wired connections between routers, or turn a wired port on an excisting network into a Wireless Access Point. All computers will be on the same network segment, and will be able to see one another in Windows Network. | + | |
| - | * [[Wireless Access Point]] - Extend Wi-Fi & LAN (Requires physical ethernet connection between routers) | + | |
| - | * [[Switch]] - Similar config as WAP, but radio disabled (accepts only wired connections) | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === Repeater / Repeater Bridge === | + | |
| - | Extend the Wireless access area using a second router. Second router does not need any wired connections. | + | |
| - | * [[Repeater Bridge]] - A wireless repeater with DHCP & NAT <u>disabled</u>, clients on <u>same subnet</u> as host AP (primary router). That is, all computers can see one another in Windows Network. | + | |
| - | * [[Repeater]] - A wireless repeater with DHCP & NAT <u>enabled</u>, clients on <u>different subnet</u> from host AP (primary router). Computers connected to one router can not see computers connected to other routers in Windows Network. | + | |
| - | * [[Universal Wireless Repeater]] - Uses a program/script called AutoAP to keep a connection to the nearest/best host AP. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === Client / Client Bridge === | + | |
| - | Connect two wired networks using a WiFi link. | + | |
| - | * [[Wireless Bridge]] - Join two wired networks by two Wireless routers building a bridge. All computers can see one another in Windows Network. | + | |
| - | * [[Client Bridged]] - (simplified instructions for a wireless bridge) | + | |
| - | * [[Client Mode]] - Join two wired networks by two Wireless routers (unbridged). Computers on one wired network can not see computers on other wired network in Windows Network. | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === WDS === | + | |
| - | Extend the Wireless access area using more routers. Extra routers does not need any wired connections. | + | |
| - | WDS is a mesh network. | + | |
| - | * [[WDS Linked router network]] | + | |
| - | * [[WDS Point To Point (P2P)]] | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | === OLSR === | + | |
| - | Extend the Wireless access area using more routers. Extra routers does not need any wired connections. | + | |
| - | Use several ISP (Internet) connections. OLSR is a mesh network. | + | |
| - | * [[Mesh Networking with OLSR]] | + | |
