We all know that it is not uncommon for some people to post fantacy instead of reality in some forums. Barry asked for pictures. Well here is the first batch regarding this project. I apologize for the poor quality, but they were made with a very cheap JamCam.

Photos are of the corner of my office that I use for setting up equipment for my clients.
NOTES:
1. Far left computer (dual monitor) connected to WRT54GS #2 only which will become the client/bridge unit. Yellow CAT-5 on floor (barely visible lower left) goes to GS#2 150 ft. away.
2. Left monitor has Word open for keeping notes. Right monitor has
DD-WRT Administration running.
3. Third monitor connected to second computer. DD-WRT Administration running. This WRT54GS #1 will be the host unit. As this system configuration for the final installation will require that the GS be plugged into the primary DSL modem/router on the `house’ side, I am simulating the configuration by plugging this unit into my office hub/switch instead of using it as the primary router for my cable modem connection. GS#1 and the binder for storing all documentation are sitting on top of the computer.
4. Dual monitor computer to the far right has an active Internet connection. The instructions for properly configuring the routers are kept up on these screens. This info came from the website I gave in an earlier post.

This setup may seem like overkill to some of you, but it works for me. I only have to turn a little in my chair to see what I am working on and with. It also minimizes confusion for a guy like me who is prone to an abundance of “Senior Moments”.

I will attach more photos when I post info about the antennae setups.

Cheers All
