really very happy tat i finally success in usin PPPoE through 2 wireless router. which means router 1 wil be connected to the modem, n than through wireless to router 2 where it is usin wired cable to my laptop. try the other method which is "wireless bridge". but cant able to connect PPPoE. so i search google for ans on how to. than find out tat by usin WDS than wil be able to connect.

this wil be applicable to ppl usin PPPoE on their com to connect internet. as by usin this method, it is better performance compare to routers itself managing the internet.

to ppl who hav spare routers, u can try it out..

the reason y i'm not usin laptop's wireless to connect is becos of the low signal. but i were to use router to connect, its alot better signal as i can put near windows resultin faster latency. n i also can boost the signal not by buyin a high gain antenna,but to print n DIY an antenna booster call "windsurfer". here's the link of the template.

this is how "Windsurfer" antenna booster looks like..

my spare wrt54g v5 router.

router1..as this is the main router, so its best to use high gain antenna.

the modem i'm using.. haha..in order to make it stand in vertical(which is cooler to prevent overheat), i use aluminum to bend n create a stand! btw the firmware of st536v6 can be found here.

to how can this be done wil be both routers hav to flash to ddwrt firmware. ddwrt latest firmware is out which is v24-sp1. but wrt54g v5 n wrt54gl use different method to flash.take note!

for flashin wrt54g version 5 router, here. this tutorial also include on how to activate 16mb ram on wrt54gs ONLY!
for flashing wrt54gl, gs, gx, other version of wrt54g, here.

here's help if u brick your router, eg.if u directly flash a size over 3mb in wrt54gl, it wil show "upgrade fail". tat is when i jus did it n fail.. after c through the help, i recovered it. so on wrt54gl, u must flash a mini or micro version b4 a standard or vpn version.

alrite, now comes to how to make 2 routers communicate to each other.

On router1
- don need to touch anything on Setup page, rmb the Local IP Address under Network Setup.

- proceed to Wireless, change Wireless Network Mode to "G-Only" if u r only using on wireless-G device.
- change Wireless Network Name(SSID) to the name u wan.
- u might wan to change Wireless Channel to others(eg.for me i prefer "8") as "6" n "11" is the most ppl usin n as it wil affect performance too.
- at Senstivity Range (ACK Timing), u can change to "0" as this improves performance.
- finish everything, jus click Apply Settings.

- go to Wireless Security, choose your Security Mode n insert password in Key 1.
- click Apply Settings.

- go to Advanced Settings, change CTS Protection Mode to Disable if u r only using wireless-G device. as puttin it Auto wil decrease performance.
- change Frame Burst to Enable. this wil increase performance.
- click Apply Settings.

- go to WDS, now select LAN under the options n enter router2 MAC address.
- click Apply Settings.

- go to NAT/QoS, UPnP, enable UPnP Service.
- click Apply Settings.
- to DMZ, u might wan to Enable n enter router2 ip to open all the port to router2.

On router2
- Under Network Setup, Local IP Address, change the ip address different from router1 (eg. if router1 is 192.168.1.1, than router2 is 192.168.1.2)
- change Gateway n Local DNS to 192.168.1.1(if this is router1 ip).
- under Network Address Server Settings (DHCP), disable DHCP Server as ip can be assigned from router1 to prevent conflict.
- click Apply Settings.

- go to Wireless, change to the same settings as router1.
- click Apply Settings.
- go to Wireless Security, same settings as router1.
- click Apply Settings.
- got to Advanced Settings, same settings as router1.
- click Apply Settings.
- now to WDS, select LAN option n enter router1 MAC Address.
- click Apply Settings.

at this time, both router started to communicate.

- go to Security, Disable SPI Firewall.
- click Apply Settings.

- go to NAT/QoS, under UPnP, Enable UPnP Service.
- click Apply Settings.

u might wan to check n change Maximum Ports to "4096" at Administration there.

ok..end of the settings n configuration for both routers..any problem, pls do inform me.

now check under Status, Wireless..under WDS Nodes, u shld be able to c the MAC Address n Signal Quality on both routers.

hopefully this can help ppl who wan to try n to ppl who needs help in doin this.

so end of this networkin post. bye!
