Simply have _one_ network and just the one WiFi Router doing DHCP. Set
the second WiFi Router to act as merely a (transparent) /client/ ...

The last two DLink devices I've played with look to be able to do that.

Alternatively, string up some (weatherproof) ethernet cable along the
gutter or through the loft? ;-)


Or... Put in a second nic on one of your servers that you already always
leave on. There's various firewall packages that will let you plumb in
the NAT/routing.

Let us know how you fix it!

Cheers,
Martin
