Wireless Network - joining two 2 wireless lans?

Question

I have two wireless lans using linksys router. two of them are in two different blocks. they are both on the same subnet mask. how do i make both of them communicate as there is no wired connection between the two buildings.

Answer 1

Well you could just connect a wireless bridge to one of the routers - set the bridge up to connect to the the other router.
(This assumes you want to keep both routers acting as access points) Most of what you want to do depends on WHICH linksys routers you have and the firmware on them.

You will need to be sure only ONE is set to be the DHCP server for the network.

Linksys does not appear to support WDS which would allow the routers to connect to each other wirlessly. So using a bridge is about your only option. (or switch to routers that support Wireless Distribution System WDS)

Answer 2

To get two wireless networks to communicate over the wireless network, the access points need to be set to bridge mode and configured to access one another. Depending on the type of Linksys you have, you may be able to use the ones you have now. The two access points must be able to communicate, be close enough to each other, for the bridging to work. If you are attempting to connect the two wireless networks across a distance of over 150 feet, then you may have problems due to interference or weak signal. You could set up a VPN connection between the two buildings if distance is an issue.

Answer 3

for sure you are able to do it. once you've a wireless with lan ports... once you've 2 instantaneous pc then connect wireless to the non-instantaneous pc by that make it useful that it truly is appropriate.. Then serach wireless connection in different pc's that you'll connect each and each of the pc's.
