[ale] OT connect two linksys routers together

[Jeremy T. Bouse]

Are you running the stock LinkSys firmware? If you are, you could try
looking into DD-WRT or OpenWRT and be able to accomplish that. I have 2
WRTSL54GS models at home but I'm currently only using the one actively.
I'd have to test it to see if it works for me but I've never bothered to
run the stock firmware.
