2 Wifi's Sharing same Internet

[Phaetos]

I'm gonna be moving in a few weeks into a house that already has internet and exisiting Wifi setup. Instead of having to change all my WiFi settings or he changing all his settings to match mine, how would I go about just settings up both using the same internet.

Cable > my Cisco(Linksys e2700) > 8 port gig switch.

I was thinking just run a cable from his cisco(linksys) room to the gig switch.

Am I overthinking this or should we just merge the two wifi into one, and set his router as an extender (or is that a bridge).

Run the WAN port from your router to the LAN port on his router or any port on a switch in his network. Then just make sure that you guys aren't sharing a wireless channel at all (for signal interference issues).

Ideally, especially if your router is going to be across the house from his and cabling isn't an issue, I'd merge it for better wireless coverage across the house for everyone. Then setup one as an access point by disabling DHCP on it. Do NOT run anything as an extender. Extender are "in case of emergency only" type setups. I say this because any extender kills half your wireless speed off the bat because of having to relay the signal.

Nevermind, I read that wrong the first time. Easiest way to do this then is to use one as an AP, and use one SSID.
