How do you "daisy chain" wireless routers? I have a very nice D-Link DIR-655 that I used to replace a Netgear WNR834B that wasn't giving me quite the range I wanted. I'd love to set the Netgear up on the opposite (or midway) part of the house and get a longer signal range (essentially using it as a wireless repeater). But I can't figure it out, and you guessed it, Netgear support points me to D-Link and D-Link support points me to Netgear.
Fred, is your router upstairs? They have an "umbrella" spread.
No. It is downstairs - has to be, since that is where the cable internet comes in.
