if you just want to use a different wifi password, the easiest is to change the password
short of that, simply plug 1 of the new routers into a switch port on the existing router, and plug that into the internet port on the temp wap, then simply setup the router like normal, pick a new ssid and password and should work finethen simply setup the router like normal, pick a new ssid and password and should work fine
try to pick a different channel then the one you currently use
Bill, I am not clear on the second part of your suggestion. Are you saying that there should be 2 cables connecting the main (Verizon) wireless router/modem and the (D-Link or Netgear) spare wireless router that I would use as a WAP?
I was under the impression that I could take a D-Link 614+ for example, and set it up as a WAP, then plug it into a port on the Verizon modem/router. No?
I did that, and it works, but I think there could be some sort of conflict. I took a D-link614+, and plugged it's WAN in, to a LAN jackon the Verizon. I can log in to the D-Link, and have internet access, but when it refreshes, or whatever routes do, I'm thinking that it may issue an IP address that is also being issued by the Verizon router.
