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.
