    Hey there, was wondering if there was a way to extend my wireless signal in the house by using a spare Linksy router I have, I know its only a "g" rather than a "n" - but just wondering if it was possible.
    Eircom router is ZyXel P-660HN

    connect your pc directly to the linksys router (make sure linksys router is not connected to the zyxel)

    log into linksys modem

    change the wifi SSID to match that of the zyxel

    change the wifi key to match that of the zyxel

    go to the router's wan setting page and

    and set it's ip address to 192.168.1.253

    set the default gateway address to 192.168.1.254 (this is the zyxel's router address)

    disable dhcp mode on the linksys

    Encapsulation: Change it to RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet LLC/SNAP. You will also need to enable Bridging

    click apply.

    then connect an ethernet cable from LAN 1 port on zyxel to WAN port on linksys

    then you got a wireless range extender
