Bridge and Router Differentiation Guide?

A bridge router is also called a brouter. It's a network device that is used as both a bridge and a router. The brouter routes all the packets for the protocols that are known and just sends them on as all other packets just like a bridge would. Brouters are operable at the network layer and the data link layer. Networks continue to become more complex, and brouters help solve the problem. It acts as a bridge when there is a network involved, and it acts as a router in a situation where there is an internetwork. These are combination devices.

How do you hook up two wireless router on the same network with both routers located in different rooms?

You have to choose which router is the main one. After that you can configure second router to create "bridge" with the main one. It's better if you have both routers of the same manufacture and model. Many routers even so can be configured for "bridge" usually do not work with different models and manufactures.
