I have a situation here. I have a DLINK DI-614+ Wireless Router currently. It operates on a 2.4GHz frequency, channel 1, some modified settings so that it runs 4 networked PC's at most, normally 2, and connects 2 DS Lite's and a Wii periodically. It works fantastic all the time, 24.7 connection, never any issues ever. I added an Xbox 360 to the mix and got Xbox Live Gold, and my router can't support it basically. Not due to traffic, just due to connection for some reason. The router just sucks for xbox live period.
So I'm looking at alternatives. I know for a fact I need a new router if I want to play Xbox Live. So here's my question. Can I run 2 wireless routers in succession with each other? Or would interference be a huge issue? I don't want to run a new router single handed, because I'd have to get new adapters for all the PC's etc. and it would cost more than I want right now really.
So could I do this you networking gurus?
Run my cable modem to my new linksys router (#1 in the line). There the Xbox would connect to it for a network connection. Then have the second older router, the dlink di-614+ (#2 in the line) connected to the new router and just run as an AP for all of our PC's and Wii etc.
So modem -> 1 router (xbox on wireless) -> 2 router (everything else wireless)
Would this even be possible? Can I get a new router with a G network and still run the B network router in succession after it? I might have to ask my network admins at work tomorrow if I don't get good feedback here. But you guys have never let me down here hehe. Have at it! Please let me know!
Thanks anyone who responds with info!
