How To Connect three routers? And how to share files?

[ucenec]

Hello!

I have two of questions for user1234 or other users who know my situation.

1.question
I connected mine 2 WRT54gs and work perfectly. But I have another WRT54gs and I would like to connect to the client router (WRT54gs)

My situation:

Internet ------- Main router (WRT54gs)---------Client Router (WRT54gs)------------2nd Client Router (WRT54gs)

Second router must use the first client router because it is to away from main router.
How can I solve this problem?

2.question

How to share files.....because I don`t see a files of client computer?


Thank`s to answer....... sorry for my not fluent english . I`m from Slovenia...

I assume you are trying to connect them wirelessly.

If your Routers are as is, (i.e. you did not flash them with third party firmware) they cannot connect Wireless among them since the WRT54g is Not WDS.

If you upgrade then to be WDS with third party firmware, you might find a solution (if you are lucky.

As for Sharing Files. You have to set the Sharing Files configuration on each Netwroked computers. Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network Settings, and Sharing.Windows Network - Installing & Sharing.

turn of the dhcp servers in both client routers, and connect them to the main router using a lan port instead of the wan ports....this should make them function just like a wireless access point.

Why do you need to connect 3 routers together? Sorry if this is a dumb question but why not just one router and a switch? or a router with a 4 port switch built in?

I'm guessing the OP wants to do this all wirelessly. I have two wrt54g pairs running WDS at a couple of locations, but I've never added a third router downstream. It is supposed to work, but it would not surprise me to have to reboot the whole shebang now and then.
