Hi, I have a wireless network at home that works pretty well within the house. I have an outhouse and want to be able to use my laptop in there, but currently my network doesn't extend that far. I have a couple of extra wireless router sitting round doing nothing and want to know if there is anyway of extending the range by putting another wireless router on the edge of my current wireless network... In other words, can I connect two wireless routers without cabling them up together? Thanks! Christian

Depending on the router you have. But yes. The router, if supported, can connect as e.g. a repeater, or another methode could be to connect both via WDS (Wireless Distribution System). If the routers supports one of the above mentioned modes, you can connect with a laptop to the first and to the second router as well.
Please send a reply, if you solved the problem !!!
