[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1327797, member: 24160"] There are at least a couple of us doing similar. Connect the 2nd router to the first router - not to the modem. Have the 1st router provide all DHCP services - then all your devices are on the same network. The 2nd router is set up in bridge mode. No, there is no way to have your devices "auto" connect to whichever wifi network is strongest. That's easily enough done with 2 clicks on the Airport icon in the menu bar and switching to the other network as you move around the house. As to whether that Belkin has a bridge mode - don't know - not all routers do You'll probably need to open up the owner's manual, or if Belkin has a forum, you might want to head there to ask about setting up bridge mode. (After re-reading - you could connect both of them to the Cisco if it is handling all DHCP - you'd then need to set up both of the new routers in bridge mode.) [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
