To put things quickly into context, I've just moved into a shared house. The internet here is provided through a wireless router.
I have some devices in my room that I would like to be networked, but these can only be connected using a wire (I have a NAS, PS3 and 360)
What I'm wondering is....can I somehow connect to the internet through a secondary router? What I mean by this is.....
Router #2 picks up wireless signal from main router and acts as a bridge
I connect all my devices to router #2 and this forwards any packets destined for the outside world to the main router - and visa versa.
I know the easiest option would be to trail an ethernet cable from downstairs but this isn't really an option
Hope this makes sense
Makes sense and is possible; still I don't know if there is a SOHO router that can do bridging without heavy modification. – mbq – 2010-07-28T17:37:52.860
