I have a couple spare wireless routers kicking around, is it possable to use them as signal boosters? i would like to add a computer in my garage but the wireless signal is to weak.

I don't think so...
Problem is that the routers can only send a wireless signal, not recieve the signal and "rebroadcast" it...

Saying that...I have never tried to do what you want, there may be a setting to make it work as a repeater, but I don;t think so...

i want to do the same thing but dont know if this would work.. i want to use the 1st router netgear wpn824 in the basement office where the cable modem is.. then i keep that cpu connected to LAN1, and wireless for that side of house. Now, can i connect from LAN 2,3,or 4,from router 1 into the other wireless router at other end of house on another floor and plug it into the port where the modem would usually plug into? I'm hoping this extends the wifi signal to the other side of the house. I'm not good with these things at all, so is this asking for a lot of trouble or is it easier than i think????
