Wireless bridge

[Sharpie888]

Hello,

 

I am wishing to create a wireless bridge from my house to my shed about 10 meters away. I have 2 ISP routers and was wondering if any one knows if this is possible

By "ISP routers", do you mean modems with routing functions (i.e. internet gateways)? If they are, they don't tend to allow access to all necessary options to activate/deactivate for this to occur.

 

But let's try. What are the makes/models of the devices?

 

Can your wireless devices get a good signal in the shed?

 

10 metres is not far to run gigabit ethernet. Why can't you do this?

I ended up getting a 15 meter Ethernet cord and wired it out to the other router/ modem and creating an uplink from the modem combo unit in my house to the other modem combo unit in my shed. The only problem I can see is that the 2 IP addresses could cancel each other out

You have to put the second router in bridge mode or basically disable features that allow it to run as a simple switch.
