I have 2 different locations that have to run to a single router. How do i do this ?

If I understand your question, you would have to plug one module into a room where the router is and connect it via an Ethernet cable. Plug other module in the room that needs the internet connection and connect module to device with Ethernet cable. If you have another device in another room you would need to purchase an additional module, plug into the wall and connect that device with an Ethernet cable.

No, you can connect the unit directly to a standard router or switch - hub. This will link both network environments.

If you plugged in both units and connected the smaller of the two units to your router with an ethernet cable then it should work. No setup was required for me once I understood the small one is wired to the router and the big one goes far away where I want the wifi coverage improved. I had done the opposite (big one wired to router and small one far away where I needed improved coverage). The other thing is to try different power outlets, and look at what the lights are telling you about signal strength coming to the remote unit.

I'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be able to function simultaneously on two seperate networks. I believe the two ports are for redundancy. But if it IS possible, then the networks would have to share IP space because you can only assign the terastation one single IP address

For that I think you'll want a NAS unit that connects to your router by an ethernet cable. I believe this unit is simply designed for simple access from 1 computer.

You do not need a second one. Put this out at the site you want it and connect it to your existing wifi. Will go 250 ft line of site

If you mean Truly separate clients, then no, I doubt it since there is only one access list. You can however make a mock-up of that type of setup by making to separate logins between the 2, and limiting the access on the client side. I'm not sure why you'd want to though, since they will connect to the same network on the router. If I am understanding your question correctly. What the others are describing is a network, and an access point type of setup. NOT 2 distinctly separate networks. Just 2 different connection types that give you some combination of internet, and network access that you can custom filter to some extent.

I have 2 sets of these working all on the same network so yes you should be able to.

You have two options to do this, set it up as an access point by wiring it to your existing router, or just set it as a repeater and give it a different password

you can do that using ddwrt which is a free OS for routers that allows you to do things that you cannot do with out of the box software. Be carefull when installing it or you may brick your device. read carefully before doing it so that you understand the risks/rewards. ddwrt main page: http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index ddwrt page for cisco e2000 http://dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2000 ddwrt page on how to do bridging that you want: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge enjoy Luis

Absolutely yes, I have that setup in my house now. Just a tip, use the second router as just an access point. Don't let the second router assign local IP addresses. I followed the instructions in this link http://www.tested.com/tech/298-how-to-use-an-old-router-to-expand-your-wi-fi-network/

I have never tried this but doubt it. You need to go modem > router > switch. I don't see any reason to go with what you are suggesting.

Yes, you can connect two separate extenders to the main router, but ideally you would do this if you have two low coverage areas in the home that are separate from each other. You cannot "chain" two extenders together to extend the coverage distance.

I think if you have IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) enabled with the same SSID then you may be able to connect and seamlessly transition from one router to another. I think you could use multiple REA20 but you have to set the RTS threashold lower as the REA20 are going to be hidden nodes which would be a huge problem with that many hidden node. Nodes are any device that are interconnected like the router, laptops, phones etc. Lets say you have your phone on the edge of one network and a repeater on the other end. Another phone could be connected to the other end on the repeater side. Since the two phones are not able to see each other collisions are likely to occur. RTS attempts to correct this by sending a Request to send (RTS) through the network. The main node will send back a CTS (Clear to send) if it is ready to receive data that won't collide. The lower setting will decrease throughput but having collisions likely will cause inconsistent speeds. You do have to play around with the settings to get the best performance.

One of the ports will go through to the router, but the other will not. It requires one on each end of the connections to support two separate connections (in this case, one at the router and one at the computers).

Yes. By trying to use both you are creating an Ethernet loop. Ethernet is a point to point technology. Your router sees the same MAC address on two different links

Brian, you would need two of these to reroute wires in 2 different directions. Happy wiring!
