Need HELP asap--Bridging routers

[Gooi_Mielies]

Hey Guys.

I got a little prob.

I have the Telkom Mega 105 router installed in my house. My computer is just a little bit out of reach of the wireless network. I have another router in the house--a TP Link TL-WR642G. So I thought I should just bridge the 2 and have a extended wireless network. Problem is, I'm struggeling myt gat af! Does anyone have experience in bridging two routers? If so I need help please because I think its the Telkkom Router and I'm gonna stick that think up their gatte!

Pleeeze!

Thanks

Hey Gooi_Mielies,

From the TP-Link manual, it doesn't look like you can run it either in bridge mode or as a universal repeater. http://www.tp-link.com/english/soft/2007731040544.pdf

Perhaps look at getting a Linksys WRT54GL router (PCMall.co.za, usually ± R600).

My computer is just a little bit out of reach of the wireless network.

I've managed to fix that kind of problem by changing the wireless channel on the router. Sometimes the default channel is flooded by other things and therefore the range blows. Either trial & error the channels or use netstumbler to find the best one.
