I have a quick (I hope) question:
I use the DGL-4300 as my primary router. I recently rearranged my network and moved this router to the basement. In order to have good wireless access upstairs, I got a Buffalo WHR-G54S router to use as an access point. The access point will be connected to my wired network.
Is it possible to use both routers' wireless antennas to expand the coverage area above what my DGL-4300 is producing? Or will I have to turn off the antenna on the DGL-4300 if I start using the Buffalo router as an AP?
If so, is there any special settings I have to use, or can I just set up both routers with the same channel, SSID and WPA encryption keys?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I flashed the Buffalo router with DD-WRT.
