You plug them together and give them the same broadcast ID...

Well I have a D-Link Wireless 108G Gaming Router and I was going to purchase the second one based on what I needed. If it's possible that is.

You can with the linksys WRTG54's and custom firmware (I'm using Satori?)

It'll take a wireless connection and let you connect to it over LAN.

You can set the AP to be a client, or an AP, or adhoc.

Not sure about the dlink stuff tho.

A wireless range extender/repeater is what you want.

Yeah, in that case you need anything that's an access point.

They made the firmware I use on my Linksys.

It looks like Alchemy-V1.0.bin.zip might work too. I'm using the Satori 4 one tho.
