Can you take 2 wireless routers and make one of them into a bridge or repeater to pick up signals from the other router far away?
I have a wireless router and a wireless network adapter. I have the wireless network adapter (CAT5 not USB) connected to the WAN port on my router. I set the network adapter to connect to the other wireless network, then I can get internet rebroadcast through my router. I use Airlink 101 router and D-link wireless network adapter DD-WRT provides firmware for many types of routers that allows you to setup a wifi router as a bridge or a repeater. Repeater mode will work better as you do not have to assign a static IP address. By flashing your router with this firmware, your basically multiplying the value of your router by 5. Routers that work best for this: older models of linksys, usually a wrt54gs or a wrt54gl, and also buffalo routers, but good luck finding buffalo routers. For more info, visit http://www.dd-wrt.com.They have their own wiki section and will provide you with PLENTY of information to get this done.
What else can I help you with?

No, the Belkin N1 routers do not have the ability to act as a Wireless "Bridge".

Yes, they can. It's called "bridge".
Can you hard wire 2 computers using a wireless router connected to a cable modem?
Maybe. I have a couple Belkin 54G v6000 and v8000 routers that can do this. If the routers support "wireless bridging" (also known as "WDS", "Repeater", or "Client-Mode") then you can set up one in client/bridge mode and the other as a host/router. You'll have to check the manual and see if this is supported, and how to configure it.
Can you use a wireless router as a bridge to a different make of wireless router?
No, different brand routers dont't recognize each other.
I want to hardwire my PC upstairs but there's no connection I have two wireless routers can I send a signal between them?

Difference between bridge and repeater?
A bridge acts as "bridge" between two networks or network subnets. A repeater merely strengthens the signal. You can have a repeater that only acts on one wire.

Some routers support so called Bridge function which is basically you need. There is one problem usually routers from different brands are compatible in the bridge mode. You always can try. How to configure the bridge option check out the router manual.
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.
How do you connect wireless inernet without having own modem?
You can connect your router to somebody's router, it's called "bridge". Not all routers allow to do that, also usually routers from different brands do not work very well together.
Two home networks across the street from each other - What do you need to connect them together wireless?
There are couple solutions. One of them is just to buy a powerful router ($100 and more range) and good wireless cards. Another solution is more complicated and it's based on so called "bridge". To create a bridge you need to have two routers (it's highly recommended to use the same brand and model) supporting bridge technology and of course wireless routers or lan cables to connect computers inside of the houses to routers. First solution is cheaper but has shorter range. Second is more expensive but has longer range.
Can you hook up a wireless router to a wireless router?
Well I don't know about that but something similar is getting a wireless repeater relay, that should double the distance of your original router if that's what you're looking for. Hope that helps.
I am using a cable modem with a wire linksys 4 port router I would like to add a wireless access point in another area of the building using one of the existing drops Can I add in a wireless router?
Yes, you can. Such configuration is called "bridge". You have to use two routers of the same model and firmware which support bridge configuration. Multiple problems were reported when people have used routers of different models or/ and brands. You might want to try using wireless range extender which is easier to setup.
