    Hi,
    I purchased couple of wcr gn access point made by buffalo to extend range of existing buffalo wifi n wgr 300nh.

    I can configure it as wds mode bridge but i want to know,

    Isnt it supposed to show same ssid as that of parent router.

    This shiws as separate access point.

    What is best way to cover my entire 3 floor house effectively?
    Thanks.

    My current setup as follows

    Dlink modem for adsl-----ethernet-----internet port of buffalo wgr 300nh.
    It has four gigabit port.
    One is connected to brother network printer.
    Three are available.

    Shall i connect both wcr gn access point over ethernet port and make separate network?
