Merging 2 Wireless networks.

Ok here is the setup. 2 DSL Netconnections. Both connected to wireless routers. Routers located in range of each other. I was wondering if there is anyway to merg them togeter. Not so i can only use 1 net connection. but so i can use files from both networks and use printers from both networks. Possably just be connected to both of them or something. What i want to do is prolly crazy hehe. I just get tired of changing networks just to print and then changing to get files and ETC. its get tiring after awhile.

Yes, you can do this, but it is fairly complicated. What kind of wireless routers do you have?

That will break the internet connections quite badly. The computers won't know which router to use, and there will likely be ip address conflicts.

You could do this using two Linksys WRT54G routers using the sveasoft firmware and putting them in WDS mode, using a diffrent subnet for each (192.168.1.x on one, and 192.168.2.x on the other), though windows name service would not work with this, so you'd have to access thing by ip address if they're on the other network.

I call bullshit. Come on man. There are plenty of companies that use multiple access points that connect to the same LAN. The wireless card on the client just associates to the one with a better signal.

Get the Sveasoft firmware, and this can easily be acheived on Linksys products. By the way, I have several Aironets setup around the building here (warehouse, offices, etc.) and clients have no issues connecting whether I put them on the Office Wireless or the public wireless.

Anyway, put them on different subnets, the machines you can pull DHCP or static, whatever you want, and check to make sure the routers can ping each other.

I was responding to steveincolumbus's comment. If all he does is run a cable between the two routers, leaving them on the same subnet, with the routers on the same IP, stuff will break. He said two wireless routers each connected to a seperate DSL line, not just two access points.
