[Ham-Computers] Configuring a distant router connection for home QTH

[Ken]

No such thing as a dumb question John.  You can connect your two 
routers,  the 2 routers can't have the same address.  Example, Motorola 
Modem  @192.168.0.1, Lynksys @ 192.168.1.2.  You can't have DHCP turned 
on in your network setting for your computer.  Set it to manual, set it 
to 192.168.1.100, subnet 255.255.255.0.  Now your Motorola Modem will 
function as a switch.  You should see your Linksys.  You just need to 
know the real I/P  address of your Linksys.  This will effect the 
settings of my examples.

Hope that helps point you in the right direction.

Ken

If I run a CAT 5/6E cable from one of the ports on my home wireless router outto an out building on my property, can I just put another Linksys wireless router on the end of it and expect to see the signal or am I missing something here?
