Help networking two wireless routers

Most consumer routers don't have this option. There are some Netgears that do, and some third-party firmware for Linksys that does, but most do not. Regardless, if the signal is too weak to make it to your bedroom, what makes you think a second router is going to pick it up?? It has to have signal strength just like a laptop would. It's no different. Even if you do wirelessly bridge the routers together (where router A is your main router and router B is your secondary router), router B cannot rebroadcast router A's signal. It can be either an access point or a client device, but not both.

 

Yeah, there's no set protocol for wireless extenders. Your best bet is to sell one of the routers and buy an extender from the same company as whatever router you're left with.
