Add an wireless acces point??!

[iMan]

Hi all,

I'm trying to expand a wireless coverage.
This is the situation: I have just moved and I moved in next to some friends whom I have set up a wireless network for. Now we are sharing the wi-fi and I do get a alright signal in my apartment but would like to set up my wireless router here to expand the coverage.
We both have Netgear MR814 wireless routers his v2 and mine v1.
Is there any way I can get my router to talk to his router wirelessly expanding the coverage and to give me a few ethernet ports to utilize while using his internet connection??

Anyone know? can I do that with the Netgear routers?

Appreciate any help and feedback

i dont know any specifics but you need to investigate "bridge" mode for your router. A bridge is what you need to connect 2 wireless access points together. Cheap router can sometimes only run as a bridge to yuo need another accesspoint to get connectivity to your machine. I dont know any specifics about your router(s) so a manual is probably your best bet.

Check the manual for the 814. You can download it here;

I didn't read it fully, but does mention bridging.
