Kind of a weird thread subject, couldn't think of a better way to word it.

I have a wireless router next to my cable modem. I have some other non-wireless devices that I would like to connect in another room, but I don't want to run a wire from the router to the other room.

Can I buy a second wireless router (which includes a 4-port switch) and have the two wireless routers talk to each other, and plug devices in with wires on the remote router?

I was thinking about buying two of these, but I can't tell by reading the manual if they would support it. I assume only the remote one needs to support it (is this "bridge" mode?)

 

Thanks,
Andrew

There are ways of doing this but what devices are you looking to use?

I don't have either device yet...looking to buy something that will work as cheaply as possible.

Let me clarify, what devices do you want to run off the second wireless device?

Oh - Tivo and an Xbox. I could probably buy external wireless devices for each, but I thought this would be cheaper.

Basically, would like to get wired ports in the second room without having to run a wire.

Linksys will have to products your looking for.  Your best bet would a router for internet connection and a wireless bridge for each device.  It is possible to connect 2 routers wireless but I do not suggest that.   

Thanks for your advice.
