Could in general every wireless g router be connected together wireless? Or does it need network bridge functionality to do so?
Cause I have two routers.. one which is connected to modem, and another which I have setup as a AP to extend my wireless home network.. But I'm unsure how to do this? .. I remember doing earlier some other place, but then one of the router had network bridge functionality at its setup, which gave me the possibility to add a router using its mac address. That was easy done..
So whats its the tricks here? Or does one of the router need a spesific ability to make an extended network?
both belkin routers.
Thanks

Interesting, I have worked with wireless installs (residential customers mainly)- never thought to do this. Appears (from LEO Link here: http://ask-leo.com/can_i_use_a_seco... ) that the second router would need to "wired" into your MAIN router and also needs different SSID for this to work properly.
Your other option if you're using WEP, is to upgrade to a better router giving stronger signal with WPA/WPA2 instead of WEP(like MIMO or pre-802.11n, aka pre-n type router) since WEP should not be relied on for security anymore since it is crackable in minutes now with some newer crack tools.
