RE: Networking need help
I don't know what your goal is, but here is how i got wireless and wired network connections in my bedroom and family room without running wires.

First router with wireless gets connected to the internet
Second router, depending on the type, gets a DD-WRT firmware installed which will give the option of becoming
A) Repeater/Bridge
B) Client/Bridge

The differences here are with A) The wireless signal will be repeated by the 2nd router and anyone connected to that repeated signal will have 1/2 the normal wireless speed. This will only affect local transfers between computers..unles you have an internet connection of more than 20mb/s.   Anything connected via ethernet should be connected with full wireless speed to the other computer.  If you have a laptop right next to router B it will connect wireless to router B.

With the choice of B) The wireless antenea are ONLY used to connect to router A and only using the ethernet ports can the internet be contacted when connected to router B.  If you have a laptop right next to router B it will connect wireless to router A.

This is a very easy setup for those who do not want to run wires in the house..I currently have 3 of these setup in the Repeater/Bridge mode to blast wifi signal all through the house, and to have an original XBOX connected in the bedroom and family room to stream video from my pc to xbox!  Standard divx and dvd iso files all play via wireless with no lag!

To see if your wireless routers are compatable go to http://www.dd-wrt.com

I am currently using all WRT54G routers, and walmart has them onsale right now for $39.95!  (I just bought the 3rd one last weekend)
