Adding an additional router?
Basically my room is separate from the main house and the WiFi barely reaches me. It has to pass through many walls, and there is also the distance. My phone is usually on the lucky side and i don't have as much of a problem; however, my laptop has a hard time connecting and keeping a connection. My PS3 as well. Fortunately i do have an ethernet outlet in my wall and that is what my PC is connected to and it is my main source of internet.
For a while now, i have been trying to connect a spare Linksys Wireless-G 2.4GHz WRT54GL router running Tomatoes 1.28 into the wall and using this as my own personal router. i have tried various tutorials on the internet, but have had no success in actually connecting to the internet. The working router that is in the house and the one i am trying to extend is a Netgear WNDR4300SW running V1.0.0.6SW firmware.
Now i am not looking to extend the wifi by connecting the two routers wirelessly, i doubt that i would benefit much from that. i simply want to connect my linksys into the ethernet port in my wall and have it work.
If someone can point me in the right direction or possibly expand on a tutorial that they are already familiar with, that would be awesome.
