READERS RESPOND: Do You Use Two Home Network Routers?
"This is awesome. I work as a designer and have extremely large files. I work downstairs during the day and upstairs at night. I only have 2 bars on my Airport [router connection] upstairs most nights... if I'm lucky I get three. I plugged in my second router and I now can get 100% Airport capability. Extremely useful. Was sick of waiting 30mins to open large files or 5 to find files off my server. Best thing I have read this week!!!"
