[dba-Tech] Using 2 WAN routers

Well... That is a good question.  I know that my plain wireless router can
function as just a router without being the DHCP server.  In the end a
windows server machine is often the DHCP server and a router is still
supposed to work in that environment.

OTOH I have seen at least one gripe about one model of one brand in this
regard.

Seems like it would cause a problem with DHCP.  If you turned it off on one
would it still be a router?

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).
