I have a primary Linksys router, which is
connected to a PC. In another room, I have
laptop and a PC. Because of poor signal, I
installed another wireless router as client and
connected my Laptop and pc to that. Primary
and client routers are connected wirelessly.

Now, is it possible to connect my PC/Laptop
wirelessly to the client router. Right now, I use
lan port to connect them. If it is not possible,
could you suggest any other configuration,
where i have two routers, and PCs/Laptops are
connected to them wireless (including to
WAN)??

Then what would you suggest?. Signal from my primary router
kept in the corner room is not reaching my room in another
corner. I cant shift that router too. This is connected to WAN for internet access.

I have another Linksys WRT54G2 router. I want this to be kept in
a central place. But I want this to wirelessly connect to my
laptop or PC.

What can be done? Or, is two wireless routing network possible, if i connect the routers by lan cable?

I installed the second Linksys Router as "Repeater Bridge" as
per instruction found in:
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.ph...

It works like charm.

Thanks.
