How To Connect Two Wireless Routers ?

Well, you could simply run a network cable from one to the other, and that should work just fine.

But for a wireless connection, and I may be mistaken, I think they both still need to be directly connected to the modem. I dont believe there is a way to have a router run network out without having a hard connection into it.

If you know 100% for sure that there is a way, then say so and I'll look into the matter more and see what I can come up with.

You need one wireless router connected to the modem, this broadcasts ur internet connection, u can use a hardwire from this router or u can use the wireless to connect to ur comp. for the xbox you can setup up an IDENTICAL router to act as a bridge so it will connect to the first wireless router and BRIDGE the internet connection. You need to download some config files and u need to have identical routers that SUPPORT bridging, not all do, and u may get different routers to work but its touch and go, reason for this is that different wireless routers can use different bridging protocols or technologies or w/e Just google "wireless bridge" plus the brand of ur router. it will be the same, its not xbox specific because all u do is creat a standard wireless bridge and then plug the xbox into one of the ethernet ports of the second wireless router. remember, google is ur friend... if u cant find anything for ur router, then lookup the manual on the manufactor website and see if it supports brdiging, if it does it will tell u how to do it wink.gif good luck
