Hi, I currently have a modem with a built in router, but it has wireless b speeds. I wish to upgrade to g technology, but do not wish to buy another modem and router. Can i just buy a g router and connect it to my existing modem/router to have two wireless signals, even though i will be only using one?
-
yes, it is possible, that is what i have set up in my apt right, a b wifi router and a g wifi router; both are accessible and are connected to the same cable cxn.
however, my roommate did it so i'm not sure the exact setup.
if u need to know logistics, i can find out; if you just want to know if it's possible, then yes, it is -
i will hit him up on how he set it all up and get back to you...
i don't usually xfer large files so i'm not sure, but i rarely see max bandwith consumption over any type of network cxn; wifi, lan, whatever -
oh and by the way i would like to know how your roomate did it, if you don't mind. another quick question: if you send large files over the g network n ur in range, will it always be 54 mps or less? just like how 56k usually goes at 43 or sumthin...

k, thanks.
