how many wireless users can be on the same router?

In the router, you can either have it automatically assign IP address' to an 'infinite' number of users (realistic maximum will be about 50 as signal processing is diluted by the number of users)\n\nAlternatively, you can set the router to assign IP address within a range you specify, thus limiting the number of users.

yes. wireless can only be high-speed. cant have wireless dialup. the network administrator can limit the speed from each computer on the network, but it's still considered high speed.

Physically & logically connect the both the routers on same wired lan segment ensure SSID broadcast, passphrase, encryption key on both routers are same..... So that you will be able connect either of the router which can be placed at distance from each other without having to keep 2 different keys on your laptop..... or you can go for a repeater which isn't a router, it simply amplifies the signals that will help you save cost too

Wireless devices for personal usage are not supposed to be powerful enough.  Also, going by the specs, it is not a personal network anyway.\n\nSo, you need clearances from the controlling organization to operate such a network first of all.\n\nSecondly, since you say it must be wireless, I would guess you need some sort of sattelite service.  I do not personally know how costly that would be.\n\nOnce you have frequency usage/transmission clearances and satellite availability, it should not be an issue to support 200 nodes at all.

look for 802.11g routers they are faster than 802.11b. look for one with long range it might be useful. Usually the more antennas the bigger the range.

The capacity of 802.11(a,b, or g) systems is limited by two main factors; 1) The capacity of the DHCP Server and router and 2) the available bandwidth of the radio interface.\n\nThe typical residential wireless router has a built-in DHCP server to automatically assign wireless (and wired) users an IP address.  Residential DHCP servers usually max out at 256 users.  Enterprise wireless networks use dedicated DHCP servers capable of handling 1000s of users.\n\nThe next limitation is the radio link.  As you know, 802.11g supports link rates up to 54 Mbs.  54 Mbs is achievable only under the best conditions, meaning no other access points or users on the same channel in the area to generate noise.  \n\nAs users are added, the maximum rate available to each user is lowered accordingly, until the number of users are generating more noise than usable signal and effectively jam the access point.\n\nAnother factor in radio capacity is called Near-Far affect.  This occurs when one user has acquired service at a great distance with no interference.  Then a second user, located much nearer to the access point, acquires service and the Near users strong signal over powers the Far users weak signal, effectively jamming the Far users and reducing the access point capacity.

Make sure that you have typed in the correct MAC address for each routers. If the other 2 are already set as an access point it still needs to have the correct MAC address of the routers that is on the network.try also disabling the WEP/WPA on the routers or might as well just use the 64bit WEP because sometimes it would affect the connectivity. Its much easier if you to test with the 2 routers first having one set as an access point, from there if everything is ok, then configure the other one.

Going by your network diagram, i think your best bet is to remove router 1 from the network and connect router 2 directly to the modem. That removes the ambiguity of having two router cascaded in a home network like yours. Doing this, all computers can be on the same network and sharing files becomes easy,\n\nAnother option you have is to yuse a wireless bridge instead of router 2. This again ensures all computers are on the same network.\n\nA third but more intensive option you might sonsider is setting up a vpn within your network which enables you to do such files transfers. Some programs are also available which can help with this. e.g Microsoft Netmeeting\n\nIf you donot want to change your network structure in anyway, I'll advise you go for this last option.

depends on what you want I suggest a \nWireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster\nThe Wireless-G Networking Solution with SpeedBooster Performance Enhancement\n\nwhere you can have one pc wired and one wireless \n\nmust have cat5 cables and a broadband connection

I bought a Netgear hub for about $20 and it works great. I can connect 5 computers and 12 wireless. I don't know much about networking but this is an option, I recommend this way if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

the only way this can be done is with either WPA or WEP protection. depending what router you have, it may be able to do one, the other, or both. WEP is probably the easyest and most secure of the two. what WEP does is it requests a "key" from each wireless computer trying to connect to your network. to do this, go to the defult gateway for your router (usually 192.168.1.1) and go to the wireless security tab. from this select the WEP option. you will need to configure each wireless enabled computer you use though with the WEP key that the router generates, sometimes it will creat a disket that will automaticly configure your computer for the WEP key.

It could be that your wireless router only allows a certain number of devices to be contected to it at a time. This would mean that it isn't giving a unique address to one of the DS's, and if they both have the same address than they can't see each other because they both think they are just seeing themselves. \n\nI would suggest either buying the USB connector from Nintendo, or getting a new wireless router. \n\nYou could also check the wi-fi connection website. They have a list of compatable routers and if yours isn't there they may be able to help you troubleshoot the problem.

You can configure atleast 255. Curious, why would you need so many? Typically huge networks have less than 3 or 4.

I would suggest picking up a wireless router. you could do an ad-hoc network but if you want to share the internet connection, your best bet is to use a small router. for about $50 dollars you can pick up a Linksys WRT54G and have all your bases covered.   ofcouse you'll need wireless network cards for each of the computers. the documentation with the linksys router will guide you through the process. also check out some info on wireless security.

I've actually tried your proposed setup using a slightly scaled down setup i.e. with a main router that's connected to my ISP and a single client router that is connected to the main router. To be on the safe side, I used used a different private IP range (172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x) for each router's DHCP pool. Donno what would happen if both routers use the same range...theoritically, I think they should work fine because the NATs shouldn't care what IP ranges are used on either side of each box.

and make sure the 2nd computer has some sort of wireless card to receive the signal from the router.\n\nI have a card in my wifes computer has a small antenna on it and they are about 15 ft. apart and receives the signal great.

First it's a violation of every DSL provider's TOS that I know  of.\n\nTo do it however all you need is three routers or one good one that does subnets.\n\nDSL <-> Router (192.168.1.1) \n\n<Home Router Gateway on 192.168.1.1/Static IP 192.168.1.2, Internal Lan 192.168.32.x)\n\n<Neighbor Router Gateway on 192.168.1.1/Static IP 192.168.1.3, Internal Lan 192.168.16.x)\n\nIf you use Wireless just set seperate SSID's, seperate channels and a good PSK.
