Default Re: Wireless Network Help

Depending upon what ISP you have, the fact that you have a dynamic IP address isnt really an issue. We have Comcast with dynamic IP at our company and at home, we have a VPN that allows us access to our office via the web, sure once in a blue moon the IP will change but its usually only after the modem loses power or we have to reboot the modem. Now on to your question. I believe instead of trying to bridge the routers together it would be easier to get whats called a repeater, this essentially extends the range of the system. I use a Netgear wireless accent point at home, it was like a $450 unit and get very good range on it AND it runs at 108 Mbps which is faster than if i plug in hardwired. Every time we've tried to bridge routers it doesnt work, it always seems like something screws up the dhcp. Not saying it wont work. I know if you are using netgear they can actually remote access your hardware and set the units up, they did that on our VPN. Good luck...i know enough to be dangerous on this stuff....
