linking two NETGEAR routers over wireless

Lo all,

I've just had to move all of my equipment around the house (including all the phone and BB access points

) and it means that my router is now on the other side of the house to my computer. I've got a bit of wireless connectivity but it's not as strong as I would like.

I have just brought home a second router from my uni accommodation and I was wondering if I could set it up half way between the current router and my computer and how I would go about using it as a signal booster.

Has any one done this? I did search but couldn't find anything and Google wasn't too helpful either.

Cheers for any info you can provide.

I don't think a standard router will do this. You'll need a proper signal booster or bridge.

Ok not to worry, thanks for the info

with home plug kits you could link the routers together using network cable and have 2 access points so to speak. The Netgears IIRC don't support WDS (linking 2 wirelessly)
