How to setup a wireless-to-wireless home network connection?

I have a DSL router through Qwest (2wire 2701HG-D) setup in one room of our house, and I would like to setup a second wireless router in the living room (where we have no phone jacks) so I can hook it into our entertainment area. I picked up a second router (Tenda W268R - MicroCenter special) to do this, but I can't seem to make the connection between the two routers. Networking is not my strong suit, so I would welcome any help/suggestions that do not revolve around buying other equipment and/or changing internet packages -- I'm looking to make the best out of what I have. Thanks Alright, I went out and bought another Tenda W268R (for $20, I figured why not). I figure I can create a link between the two to accomplish what I need, but I still don't know much about Lazy, Bridge & Repeater modes -- any suggestions?

  1. You only need one wifi router if your making a home network connection... If you really need to connect the 2 routers, connect it using the LAN wire(usual wire for wired routers/broadbands). connect the router in the living room to the router in the room. LAN(in the room)-----------------------ETHERNET(in the living room)
  2. Are you trying to bridge by wireless? If so, only certain routers have that ability, many do not... You have to buy a specific router that supports wireless "Client" node ( some vendors call it client bridging, wireless bridging, etc.) One example of such a router is: http://www.ovislink.ca/WL354AP/WL354AP.htm though there are many others out there. The key word to look for is "Client Mode"
