At home I've got two belkin wireless routers (One a cable one which is being used, and an adsl one that we don't use now), and my brothers PC is at the opposide side of the house, so has poor signal quality. Now, I'm pretty sure there is a way you can use the second router as a go-between so the internet signal goes through the cable router to the adsl router which relays the signal to the PC, and vice versa.

I know there's a proper name for this, but I can't remember otherwise I would google it.

Thanks ^^,
 
Right a bump with an update. From what I understand, the router connected to the internet will be a bridge, and the one that isn't will be the access point, yes?

However, the cable router thats connected to the internet (belkin F5D7230) has the access point and wireless bridge options, while the second router (F5D7633, an adsl router we used to use) only has a wireless bridge option, and that only appeared after a firmware update.

I've set the SSIDs the same, the passwords are the same, and the cable router has the adsl's mac addresses set to the same. My parents use the cable router for their business, so dont want me messing around with it.

Is there a way?
