Is it possible to hook two wireless networks to each other, and have them both broadcast? I have one router which is encrypted by my work so I cannot access it from another computer with a wireless G networking card. I want to take my existing wireless router and hook another wireless router into one of the computer ports in the back, and broadcast the second wireless router unencrypted for my desktop with wireless card. Any advice you can give is much appreciated.

There are few ways to acomplis this, but first comes the warning:

Don't setup any unencrypted wireless networks in a work place without aproval from the boss.

One of the problems is that anybody would be able to connect to this unencrypted network, thus leaving it open for hackers to have fun with.

That being said, to make sure that we are on the same page, what you want to do is:

you want to setup your own wireless network at your work

You want to setup this by attaching your own wireless router to another computer (????)

The problem that I see is the second part. The best way to do this would be to attach your wireless router directly to your work's network, and go from there.

The way to go is to let the IT people at your company know that you need wireless access to your desktop, and let them set it up for you.

One thing that I forgot to mention:

If you get permission to set this up, make sure that your own wireless is running on a different channel vs the other network, this way there is no interferance.

If you brought a wireless router into my network your a*& would be fired and escorted out the door with your handful of belongings. Your paycheck not mine.

with that said I take it you are proposing that you add another wireless router to the network so you can access via your pcs wireless card.

You would do this by a crossover cable from the encrypted wireless router to a switch port on the added wireless router. The added wireless routers dhcp would have to be disabled. You just turned your wireless router into a access point.

Good luck keeping your wireless nic on the preferred wireless router. They "scan".
