First off, great site Tim and others. Tons of helpful info here.
I just read through this thread and some others but still have some questions about how best to setup what I'm trying to do.
In one room I have a network with a Linksys WRT160N V3 as my main AP/Router. I am buying a NAS (found with the help of your great reviews) and therefore want to replace the 160N with a router that has a gigabit switch.
I will then move my 160N to a nearby room where I want it to act as a bridge to get a few wired devices I have there on the network.
Will this work? The 160N V3 supports DD-WRT which I imagine I would have to use to get the bridging to work - but does the main router/AP have to support anything in particular then as well?
I am not concerned about the 160N rebroadcasting, are there other problems I might run into with this setup?
Any idea what the best router to make my main AP in this situation? Money is a big concern so the cheaper the better. There are a number of other N and G devices on the network as well. Does that complicate things?
Thanks for any advice.
