I have a work area that is not wired for a network.
I use this area to test/repair computers for my company. I need to
connect to the company network.
What I want to do is have a wireless router in the one room, (which
they have physically connected to the network.) And then using this a
new wireless router pick up the signal so that I can plug computers
into the router so that I can connect up to the network in this remote
site.
In other words ...
eg
Network----Wirless router * * * * * * * * * * Wireless
router-----Computers

I do not have wireless cards to put in all the computers in my work
area. I just want to use my wireless router as a pickup point, hub to
all the other computers.

I have set up wireless routers at homes and worked fine.

Here are my specific question.

Can I do this, eg pick up a signal despite the fact that there is no
physical connection to the router (eg Cable/WAN/Lan port) so that my
computers can use it.


Any links or web sites that would have instruction specificaly on this
type of set up?

Thanks
Regards

AFAIK what you need in the 2nd location is a wireless bridge. Some
routers can be put into this mode, others can't. Often, you need to
have the same sort of router at each end of the link.
