We ordered a Westell wireless modem/router, 20 port switch and a static IP from our provider. I setup everything in the network closet and I can connect to the wireless signal as long as I am in range. Unfortunately our conference rooms are not in range of the network closet.
My boss suggested we use a spare Linksys wireless router to boost the range of the wireless signal. So i activiated a jack in one of the conference rooms that is centrally located. When I plug into this jack I can connect to the internet etc etc. As soon as I connect the Linksys router I can no longer connect.
I am not sure how to setup the Linksys to work with this connection. Is this even possible? Is it a problem to have two routers on the same connection? Can the Linksys act as a wireless access point?
Help?
