2 Router network.

Is it possible to run 2 routers through 2 separate ethernet ports.

I currently have a wireless network but, the router is downstairs and the majority of my devices are up stairs. I plan on bringing the wireless network upstairs and adding a non wireless router downstairs to feed the office PC.

Would this work?

What would that do?

So, I could keep my network downstairs and run a switch through an ethernet port upstairs? and my wireless problems would be solved?

If so. would is be easier having the switch downstairs and bringing the wireless upstairs as, I have 3 devices which constantly lose wireless connection through being to far away but, if the router is with 5M of the devices then it should have no problem? right?

No you need to take the wireless router upstairs and put a switch downstairs.

This is what I wanted. Cheers.

Its a router and modem. I've bought the switch, phone splitter thingy and an ADSL cable.

Right, there's been a big misunderstanding here. I want to use the telephone socket to provide internet upstairs whilst keeping a non wireless router downstairs. I don't want to use a big ethernet cable going the length of my house from the router to the switch. What should I do.
