2 Wireless Networks RV042?

I just got mine, I'll try and remember to report back once we've tried it as loadbalance/failover is what we purchased it for. In the mean time I will note a lot of the reviews up are on the older side, I was looking for load balancers both here and on newegg and at newegg this model has 100 more reviews than it has here and its a solid 4/5 there so thats pretty encouraging.

Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured. I initially configured the WR02 as a Repeater ( was not easy at first but read either my review or others on how to do this). I found that the best place to locate the WR02 was in a room where I have a Roku and I don't have a wired connection. I plugged in the Roku to the WR02 and reconfigured the Roku for a wired connection and I believe the throughput is actually better. Maybe because the WR02 is closer to the floor and picking up a stronger Wifi signal from the primary Wifi router. So now from the WR02, I am using both the wired connection for the Roku and the repeated connection for mobile devices and tablets. Yes. This is exactly how I have my setup configured.

Also and obviously..you cannot connect to 2 networks at a time. It's possible your pc won't show it unless disconnected from your network.

Depends on the firmware version, but this tip may help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-wireless-networking-41/linksys-wusb54gc-v3-lucid-10-04-fine-out-of-box-w-minor-change-821123/

The latest firmware for version 9 limits the number of wireless clients to 31, possibly up from 15.http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR841N&version;=V9

I apologize I'm not sure. I'm using 802.11n which has a greater range and is also faster than 802.11g.

I don't know how to answer your question. I had this unit in my RV as we traveled around North America. This unit improved out signal strength where we were unable to connect to the WIFI systems. The range was good and the speed was great.

Hi, Mike. This access point can only broadcast 1 SSID (choosing between 2.4GHz or 5GHz network). Scheduled SSID broadcast is also not a feature.

Yes, if you're creating a wireless bridge you'll need two. I use one in an office located about 300 feet away from the other; I get a strong (18mbps), reliable signal even at that distance!

I think if you have IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol) enabled with the same SSID then you may be able to connect and seamlessly transition from one router to another. I think you could use multiple REA20 but you have to set the RTS threashold lower as the REA20 are going to be hidden nodes which would be a huge problem with that many hidden node. Nodes are any device that are interconnected like the router, laptops, phones etc. Lets say you have your phone on the edge of one network and a repeater on the other end. Another phone could be connected to the other end on the repeater side. Since the two phones are not able to see each other collisions are likely to occur. RTS attempts to correct this by sending a Request to send (RTS) through the network. The main node will send back a CTS (Clear to send) if it is ready to receive data that won't collide. The lower setting will decrease throughput but having collisions likely will cause inconsistent speeds. You do have to play around with the settings to get the best performance.

Sorry I have no experience with integrating ONelink with another wireless system. What you are getting at does intrigue me.

This is supposed to provide the capability to be used as a "wireless bridge" with the same SSID name, but I have not been able to get thst to work. Could be my inability, not necessarily the system

Yes, Sean. You may change the SSID for both bands and manually uncheck the Broadcast SSID feature of your router.

yes it will work, but I do suggest to make sure line of sight is clear of obstruction to get the best possible link. and yes you will be needing 2 of them to bridge 2 sites via wireless.

Yes according to the installation guide here, check it out: http://www.2wire.com/pages/pdfs/802.11gPCCard.pdf

Well if you are talking about your old router just replace it, or have the 2 of them hook together, but then you will have 2 different wifi signals and I see no point in doing so hope this answers your question

yes you can configure it as a repeater or a bridge so that it will give you a wireless signal of the same network or you can use it in router mode and you can share the internet and set uo a new network
