how many 602's can I link?
I wish to build a wireless network in an old hotel building.
My idea is to have the main Netgear router, linked to a wg602 upstairs by ethernet cable, then conect another wg602 by ethernet to that wg602, then a third one conected to the second wg602 by ethernet...maybe even a fourth?
Is this possible?
I know "Daisy Chaining" by wireless is bad for bandwidth but will I get a good wireless connection off each wg602 by linking them all by ethernet...if it is possible?
Thanks
Mark

good stuff.... - Maybe I'm confused - how many ethernet ports does a WG602 have?
As far as I know the answer is one which means you have to link them all back to the router, "dasiy chaining" is out of the question. - indeed.... one LAN ports...
:D
