daisy chain routers

Comment:
I am using a D-Link wireless router WBR-2310 at one end of the house and am running 2 patch cables out of it for various computers. The wireless LAN is used for various laptops throughout that end of the house. The router is connected to a cable modem. I want to move the wireless router to the middle of the house to provide wireless access through the entire house. QUESTION. Can I use a wired router (D-Link EBR-2310) in place of the WBR-2310 and run a patch cable to the WBR-2310 that would be located centrally in the house? I'm not sure that I am competent enough to reset settings on either of the routers but could try if it was simple enough. Thanks in advance. Bob

Yes, you can do that. You'll want to set up the wireless router as a wireless access point, not a router. Then connect one of it's "LAN" ports to a "LAN" port on the wired router.
