Hi all,
Recently I purchased a (second) wireless router to use in my home, to set up a wireless connection for my tv and xbox. Perhaps this was a waste of money or a poor purchase, I'm still figuring this out.
So, I currently have a modem/router hooked up in the study (Belkin wireless N router) which is connected to a wall socket for the internet. To this router is connected an older computer and my printer. In another room I have my good PC, which connects wirelessly to this router (I'll call it router 1) using a PCI wireless card.
What I want to achieve is have this newly purchased router (router 2) set up in the living room, with a hardwire connection to my 360 and tv. Router 2 is also a belkin wireless N. Both Router 1 & 2 can be set as Acess Points.
I don't however want to connect router 1 and 2 by cable. it's a distance of around 30 metres and I don't want cables lying all over the floor. This isn't an issue of signal strength either. I just want to be able to connect the TV and xbox to the internet in a different room to where Router 1 is.
So is this even possible? And if so, how can I make this setup work? I've tried searching for answers but can only find solutions where they use a cable to connect the two routers.
I've attached an image of the desired setup as well.
Thanks
