Can I plug in a newer (better) router into my existing one to give it even better range?

(a new one into my old one, which has built-in VOIP)

Wireless range is based on both sides. If both sides support a newer longer range system then you could most likely do that.

It would take a bridging unit to join wireless units together.

If you set the new one just as a wireless access point [wired to the router as long as a cord could go away] you can extend your wireless range.

I assume that the phrase "plug in" suggests a wired connection between the two. If so then I could connect two routers.

"Can I plug in a newer ..."
