thats what I thought.
I dont need cable connection on my laptop, my roommate has an old iMac, so she does, but doesnt work.
If I disable wireless on the router 2, should this make a difference at all?
I dont think so tbh, its the wired connection that fails

could try and disable it, never know. cables are good? straight throughs?

it should have no problem. using just the wired ports(not wan port) it "should" behave like a switch and not do anything else.

wierd.

I decided to say 'fuck it' and just wire my roomgirls iMac straight up and forget about the extra wireless network on floor 3 :(
