    Hi there, hoping this is a quick query

    At one end of a very long building in the loft I have a 'Netgear DG834GT Integrated ADSL Modem and 108Mbps 802.11g Wireless Firewall Router' that is doing everything it says on the tin, from this I have a long catVe cable running to the other end of the building's loft and on the end of that a 'Netgear WG602 54mbps 802.11g Wireless Access Point'.

    My question is: How can I set up these two pieces of hardware so that the building is covered by one single wireless network? Should I just enter the same SSID and wep/wpa key settings for both or does it go deeper?

    TIA

    You need to set the access point to repeater mode, and then put the security settings in.
