I currently own two Netgear wireless routers. One is a WGR614v5, the other is a similiar looking one, still new in the box, NetGear Super-G wireless router.
We had a Wild Blue satellite internet guy come to the house and told us he couldn't get a good signal (trees). But about 300ft away, line of sight, I have a barn out in a field. My plan is to place the satellite there with a clear view, and run something wireless that can broadcast to the house wireless network so we can -finally- have a broadband connection!
I currently have that WGR614v5 in the house and operational (using dial-up). I can take a laptop about 200ft. away towards the barn before the signal drops. I have not yet done anything to improve that connection.
Anyway, I'm wondering if I could take this Super-G wireless router and set it up at the barn with the broadband connection and set it up in such a way so that it can connect to the wireless router in the house and bridge the gap.
Some have said this will work, and I've read brief conflicting reports (but with no detail on how-to). Do I need some other device instead of 2nd router, or can I make this work with the equipment I have now? If so, how?
Thanks,
