[dba-Tech] Using 2 WAN routers

John,

Make sure you set up windows correctly for the preferred network otherwise the 802.11b laptop will slow down the 802.11g if the 11g signal strength is stronger (Windows and its roaming abilities). If you go this route, you can limit her router to the 802.11b while leaving yours set for the strongest signal (thereby increasing your range and throughput).

I'm not an expert so take it for what it's worth.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use two WAN routers.  I have an old
802.11B router and want to get a new 802.11g router.  It would be nice to
set up both and have the wife's laptop (using the B protocol) use the
existing router and my laptop (using the G protocol) use the new router.  I
know that you can specify the channel number at the router, but can you nail
down the channel number at the receiving end?  IOW force the old laptop to
use channel 9 and my laptop to use channel 2 (or something like that).
