Can I use 2 access points for 1 connection?

Okay, so I currently have a linksys B access point and I'm thinking about getting a D-Link G access point. Can I use the two togehter? I guess the connection will be something like wall phoine jack -> dsl modem -> G access point which will connect to both the computer and B access point.

One computer to two APs?

No.

You can't.


Two APs to the same wired connection?

Yes, if you set it up right. *But* any one client will only connect to a single AP.


One device acting as a repeater and AP?

Not likely with consumer-grade stuff.

Yes, what I meant was two APs to the same wired connection wo I have both the B and G network at home.
For the heck of it, I'm just gonna try connecting them and see what happens. I'll update later.

You can use one as a Switch with an access point.
