I would prefer "camp" <-- wireless --> G router <-- wired --> N router <-- wireless -> local clients to "camp" <-- wireless --> G router <-- wireless --> N router <-- wireless -> local clients in order to conserve local wireless bandwidth in the vicinity of the G & N routers. With three different wireless connections, you can't avoid band conflict when there are only two bands. Now you can proactively control the actual channels used for the G to N and N to client wireless networks to avoid overlap, but I still prefer wired as it requires less active management. Now maybe, you are suggesting something else. Perhaps, "camp" <-- wireless --> G router <-- wireless --> local clients It sounded though like he wanted to use both the hi-gain antennas on his G router as well as the higher bandwidth for local connections of his N router. If that is truly the case then I stand by my suggestion to make the G to N connection wired (if feasible). Bill Bogstad
