Can I connect two routers together by the wifi network. I bought apple air port wifi router. I have my old wifi router (belkin). I want connect an apple router to my modem in my living room, but I have a TV, blurey, xbox360 in my bedroom and I want connect them to the internet. Can I use my old router to connect them using wires, because I don't want by wifi internet adapters to each one.

What model is your Belkin router?

I ask because if this router has bridging capabilities, then it is possible.However, the router will also need to be a switch and/or you will need to purchase a switch for all components to access the internet!

Take a look at this!

Router is a switch. Name of my router is Belkin wireless G router 2.4 Ghz. Maybe You know other solution. I bought apple AirPort Extreme.

Only ONE device is connected to your broadband modem. Only ONE device will give out IPs. So, essentially you would need to disable the DHCP server and routing capabilities of the Belkin and use it simply as a switch.

I don't understand what you're saying here. If he uses the Apple and Belkin as just switches then he will still have to run a cable between the two because they don't have bridging capabilities right? I guess I've confused myself :(

I'm not saying to use BOTH as just switches, but he can't have two DHCP servers handing out IPs on the same network.

I realize this! He will still need a device capable of bridging to gain the outcome he wants right?
