Is this possible? We have a router with broadband connection serving our network. We have a seperate building that we can send a wireless signal too via a Belkin router wired into the network on a static IP address. But the signal received at the desk is low and unreliable yet much better when close to the window (Sorry, the desk can't be moved!)I have another Belkin Wireless router, which I'd like to put near the window to boost the signal to the Tablet on the desk. Would this work and, if so, how? I've set the second wireless router with a different SSID, different static IP and DHCP is off. I can see both wireless routers on the network and can connect to them individually (although the second non-wired one obviously has no "network/internet" connection). Am I trying to attempt the impossible or just going about the possible in the wrong way. I need the two wireless routers to talk to each other? By the way, this is a school enviroment and the signal is at it's weakest during school time. All help greatly appreciated.

Google "WiFi booster"

Would this work? No Is Belkin a good choice in hardware? No Proper equipment for this situation? WiFi Bridge [not router not access point] Your best options are to see if the main wireless can have a boosted antenna installed or do a search on cantenna so you can boost the signal. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Thanks very much for both the replies. I did wonder if I was chasing my tail but I thought I'd read somewhere that you could set the router to bridge mode?? Is this something completely different? I had a quick look at Cantenna (thank you), the children would love to see one of those sitting in the classroom! I think the "Belkin" choice was equipment we already had rather than spending more money but if that's a poor hardware choice then what make/s should we be looking at? Thanks again.

Bridge mode refers to not using NAT ie routing. You would be dependent on your isp to provide multiple ip addresses to the workstations and you would not have the safty you get with NAT. I have worked with Dlink, Linksys, Netgear and Belkin and Belkin is the only one I wouldn't recommend. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

There are also integrated client radio/antennas available which could be strategically placed so that it would wirelessly connect to the main wireless router and thus provide a wired interface to the laptop via ethernet. Just another solution... k_Rob - kk7av
