Mix and match components

**myf360f1** · 09-10-08, 03:30 PM

Hi all,

I am curious to know, if I am running a Linksys router and expander am I able to use a another brand component as well, for example a Netgear wireless adapter? Will there be a compatability issue?

Thanks in advance

nope all you will need to is connect to the addon and change its ip to match that of your main modem router setup and i disable its dhcp abilities as well then plug it in and away you go

Thanks Fan,

I will give it a go but will probably botch it.

Much appreciated
