thank you john

quick question , if i do that what will be the wifi sid name ?
normally i configure that in the router, but if i disable DHCP the
router wont have a configuration page, there for i wont be able to
configure anything

i assume there is no password so wifi will be unsecured, with is
ok just curious how this will work



You will also have to configure the routers to have a local IP
address that is in the same subnet but different from the ICS
address and from each other. For example if ICS is at address
192.168.1.1, then you might configure your two routers to have a
local IP address of 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3.

You will still be able to configure the wireless routers by
connecting to its address with a web browser and able to assign any
SSID to it that you desire as well as an access password. Disabling
DHCP does not disable the configuration page, it only disables the
router's ability to assign an IP address to a client machine (which
should be handled by your ICS rather than the router).

There are many articles on the web addressing this. One of them is
he

"How to set a Wireless Router as an Access Point"

HTH,
