Connecting 2 Routers with a Single SSID

Hi!

 

I want to connect a second identical router to my network.  I have two coax entry points on opposite sides of my house and want the second router to be on the side opposite the current router.  I am trying to work out the simplest way to accomplish this.  I've noticed that Verizon Home Agent will allow me to copy the settings of my current router, disconnect that router, connect the new router, then download the original settings to the new router.  I was thinking this might help accomplish my goal.

 

What if I changed the channel setting of my current router from automatic to channel 1, then swapped out that router for the second router?  Could I then change the address of the second router from 192.168.1.1 to something different, change the channel from 1 to 11 (for example), then plug in the original router in the new location?  Would that get the job done, or is it too simple to work?

 

Thanks!!

 

Jim
