Here's the scenario... I have a two story house with a cable modem in a downstairs office. Also, in this office is a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless access point/router/switch combo. I am setting up another office on the second floor and would like to use a second identical router to connect to the first floor router wirelessly for network and cable modem access. I would like to link the two wirelessly so that I don't have to run cabling between them.

Any ideas?

Before you get another BEFW11S4. Check the documentation. When they first came out you could not wirelessly connect two BEFW11S4's together. The recommendation was to use an Access Point or a Bridge.
