I have 2 DHP-1320 routers. Can I link these to my main router as access points to get extended coverage? I need to get coverage to an outbuilding and can't run cable. My main router is at the far end of Bldg-A. I was thinking of putting one DHP1320 at the other end of Bldg-A and the other DHP1320 at the closest part of Bldg-B. I have wired and wireless devices in Bldg-B. The Buildings are on adjacent lots, but there is a right-of-way between them and I can't run anything across it. They are on separate meters preventing powerline devices.
My ideal configuration would be Main router--->>DLink #1---->>DLink #2. That way devices at the end of range can connect to DLink #2. Also, can I make this configuration seamless connectivity by using the same SSID but different channels? Using channels like this: main=ch6----->>#1=ch1----->>#2=ch11?
If I can do this, would I configure DLink #1 first? Then get DLink #2 to connect to it?
I've been trying to figure something out and this is the best I've come up with. Thanks for any help.

Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48135.0)
What region are you located?
What Mfr and model is the main host router?
Yes this can be done this way: Main router--->>DLink #1---->>DLink #2 using the same SSID but different channels like this: main=ch6----->>#1=ch1----->>#2=ch11:
I have not tried this on a DHP PL router though so I don't know for sure if it will work, however please review this and give it a try:

I'm in Mississippi. I'll have to get the details on the main router the next time I'm at the building. I've extended range with one router for my garage, but it was a separate network. I haven't tried the same SSID -type, muchless daisy-chaining a second one. I didn't know if it was possible and if lag would create problems.

IT would work I believe. Lag should not be a problem unless someone is doing some heavy streaming or downloading or something.
Let us know how it works out.
