Daisy chain routers?

ssmacc · 22 Apr 2007 at 12:25

Here is my current set-up (working well)

Living Room Router –

Living room XBOX
Bedroom 1 PC
Bedroom 2 XBOX

However, I have since added an XBOX in Bedroom 1, this is not connected to the router but is connected to the PC via a NIC card. Problem is the Bedroom XBOX is not connecting to the PC (it did yesterday!) I’m seriously considering buying another router and using it purely to network the PC to the bedroom XBOX, can this be done? Or can I daisy chain the routers? i.e. intercept the signal from the downstairs router and stick into a new router? Sorry if these are daft questions!

Thanks in advance

id buy a switch instead of having two routers

Not sure what a switch does! (sorry) would it allow the upstairs PC and the upstairs XBOX to talk to each other and both have a internet connection at the same time?
