I think this is probably pretty simple to do for someone who actually knows what they are doing, but I wasted about 3 hours last night and couldnt get this to work.
In my house on the 1st floor I have a wireless router (netgear WNR2000) in my living room which is on the far right of my house. On the 2nd floor I have my cable modem and another wireless router (netgear WNDR3000) in my office. Currently I have 2 wireless networks, 1 for each router, and a wired connection where my office router feeds a wired signal to my living room router. Neither router can reach all of my house but at all points in my house you can reach 1 of the wireless networks.
What I want is for both routers to handle traffic for the same wireless network so you would connect to 1 SSID so you could go anywhere in the house and you would automatically connect to either router and stay on the same network. In addition, I need the wired connections on both of the routers to work and be on the same network as the wireless connections.
For example, I have a fire TV in my living room which I want to connect with a wired connection to my living room router, and a Fire TV stick in my office which has to connect to my office router via wireless. For the Fire remote on your phone to work, you have to be connected to the same wifi network as both devices. Also, my work computer is wired to my office router and my printer is connected via wireless to my living room router so I cant print from my work computer.
If anyone can give me advice on how to accomplish this, I would appreciate it.
