Newegg has a half a dozen or so inexpensive access points. I recently bought this one for about $20:

I have it connected by Ethernet to the router that has the Internet connection and is the DHCP server for the house's internal subnet. The access point presents a second wireless network to a part of the house that's farther away from the router. That area of the house has poor reception with the wireless network of the router. The two wireless networks use different RF channels. All interfaces connected to the Ethernet or two wireless networks end up on the same subnet (192.168.0.x). But some of the computers on one of the wireless networks have trouble connecting to computers on the other wireless network. For example, in order for any computer to use my wireless printer, it has to be on the same wireless network that the printer is on. I haven't been able to figure this out yet... _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
