Hi. I have two wireless routers.
One is a belkin F5D7632-4 and is connected to the Internet by an ADSL line. This is wired to my main PC and wirelessly to my laptop.

I have just been given an Orange livebox wireless router, and i'd like to have this ina seperate room recieivng wireless interweb from router # one, and delivering it to any computers through UTP cables.

Is that possible,
How is it done?

Thanks
Tom.

Well if you turn off the livebox DHCP then you should be able to use it as a basic switch which also has wireless. You'd have to use ethernet to connect the two together and that would then lose you a port meaning it ends up only as being an additional wireless hotspot. I don't believe you can connect the two together wirelessly in that sort of setup.

Thanks for that reply.

I can't connect them by a cable as they will be on different floors and I don't have enough cabling.

I suppose i'll have to buy wireless NICs for these other computers instead of trying to do it on the cheap with a free wireless router, lol.

Thanks again for your help,
Tom.
