First, here's my network layout in beautiful 'ascii art'.
DSL 'modem' -> Astaro Firewall -> 8 Port Gigabit switch -> A + B + C
A=Main PC, WHS
B=2nd router that is currently set as nothing more then a switch and 802.11G access point, which feeds a XBox 360, Laptop, SageTV HD200, and some iPoos and other misc G devices.
C=802.11N access point.
Now, I have a spare router gathering dust that I'd like to put to use when needed downstairs without having to run an extra cable. Even though its only a one floor difference, both wireless networks get a heavy hit to thier speed and reliability when going any further then the room below the APs (can't even stream HD videos).
The router has 802.11B&G, and what I would like to do, is use the Wireless G portion to connect to the current 802.11G AP in my network. Is this at all possible and what options do I need to look for in their setups in order to get this to work?
