I already have a wifi setup at home, I want to extend the range to our office across the street so I bought another wifi router and used it as an access point. I configured both routers so I can have wifi roaming within the coverage area.
I encountered one problem, sometimes (or twice actually) I cannot access the main router, which means I don't have internet access. But the other times were ok.
Why did that happened?

yung kapitbahay ko sa pinas bumili nung Wifi signal booster (repeater) para sa tindahan niya across the street from his home. Nilagyan pa niya ng home-made reflector like this one. pero yung kanya parabolic.
YouTube - Wifi Signal Booster for less than $1 New!
Yun nga lang laging bukas ang window na nakatapat sa bahay niya, may added effect daw yun
napakaraming factors niyan, Sir. humidity, weather, etc hehe. may issue pati kapag naglalakad ka across the network, ang issue dyan kung seamless yung transition between the two access points. kung saan ireassociate ng client kung saan siya magkokonect.

add: afaik, true "roaming" (single SSID) requires 1 main router hardwired to the n number of Wifi access points. di ako sure ha. from old info. There's the 802.11r nga pala which is true "roaming".Last edited by Negus; February 21st, 2009 at 09:07 PM.

Sa company namin, nag-setup ako ng 2 Access Points (in separate buildings) with 2 Range Expanders - they have the same SSID, and they provide the same gateway to connecting PCs/gadgets.
I also connected to our network 4 Wireless Routers, each having its own DSL connection, but they all have the same SSID as the AP's and RE's. In short, we have full network roaming (but probably not internet roaming) in our compound with 5 DSL connections. Di ko pa nga lang na-try na lumipat ng lugar habang may dina-download... Malamang, putol iyung download.

2 separate wireless routers will create two separate wireless networks.
Also to use 2 routers you need two ADSL lines & to switch from 1 network to other you will need to disconnect from one network & join the other network.
In other words switching (moving from one floor to another) wont be smooth but involves a manual disconnect.
What you need is an actual compatible repeater or an access point.

You can just change the ip address of the second, third, ... routers/ap's/extenders so they stay in the same subnet.

Puede mo din i-reflash yung new router mo with 3rd party firmware and let it act as a repeater. sqyang naman kung bibili pa ng additional hardware.
here's a link (just a random hit from Google):
