Couldn't you just encrypt the network and let everyone know what the encryption password is??
I believe that is all you need to do, set the encryption password in your router and when they try to log in to your network it will ask for the password. With mine however once you enter the password it changes it to a number that has to be entered.
I would highly suggest against WEP protection, it's like having a door but not locking it.
I did the same thing wit a password on the router
Are you asking about his setup(Strife's) or a different setup??
Typically one router will be used as a repeater if you have two routers.
In Strife's case he is using the second router as an access point, so it is talking to the router pluged directly in to his computer(I would assume). Example, at work we had a wireless router far away from my office and the signal was weak. So I ran a 200 foot cable to my office and hooked up a second router as an access point and branched off to 4 computers hardwired and several remote units.
Yeah, what Craig said. The signal was too weak on the north side of the house so I connected the Buffalo to one of the Linksys LAN ports and changed the switch setting to use it as a switch/wireless access point. So my network goes: modem -> Linksys router ->3 computers and the Buffalo ->3 more computers. I needed the expanded wireless because the signal is so weak now that everyone and everything is clogging the airwaves! Between the wireless phones and all of the neighbors running highspeed wireless the signal deteriorated.
As long as you have set a password for logging in to your router you should be good. I wouldn't worry to much about people "hacking in". If like me, there are 6-7 networks in the area that the hackers can get in to easier than yours.
