I have a router in my office but at the other end of the house I have a computer station set up. The internet wont travel that far and I was wondering if I could set up a router half way to 'router the router'. Or instead of routers some sort of other device that would do the same job?
Can you router a router?

im guessing you want to extend the router for wireless connection with another router. check here. http://www.computerforum.com/186706...abilities-my-home-long-house-lose-signal.html
Do you mean a setup like this? Route >> ethernet cable >> router >> ethernet cable >> etc? Ive tried that at LAN parties ive hosted and yeah it works. Another great thing i would reccommend are these: http://www.google.co.uk/products/ca...og_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CGEQ8wIwAw#
Basically, you stick them in your wall sockets, one next to your router and have an ethernet cable connecting the two. Then plug in another one where you want it in the house and you can run 4 ethernet cables out of it. Fantastic things, i have a couple running through my house and they work brilliantly.
