I have been debating and researching this issue for days now (and you have offered some good guidance hubrisnx). My goal is to have two cisco ea3500 routers attached to my actiontec. At first i wanted all my clients on the same network so i could access my DVR from my ipad for example. Im over that now and im ok switching networks if i need to do that, i think.
I have wired everything (meaning fished the coax throug the floors) and bought the second cisco and just wanted to run down my setup and i hope this helps the OP since it is very much related.
I will keel the actiontec wireless network as but basically wont be using it.
I currently have one cisco wired lan > wan from the actiontec. Its dhcp is on and it is currently my primary wireless network for the family devices.
I plan on connecting the second cisco on the second floor wired lan to lan to the first cisco. I plan on changing the ip, disabling its dhcp, and making sure the channels are different. My plan is to give this the same ssid/key as the first cisco (but different from the actiontec).
My primary goal is to have better dual band n-only coverage from the cisco network throughout the house.
Any problems?
