Wireless Home network

[xray2]

I want to extend my wireless network at home, but not sure how to.

I want to set up a router which connects to another router via wireless only. I think this is called WDS? I have recently purchsed a Dlink DI-524UP for sharing a printer. Howver I don't have any cable connection where I want to locate the printer and there wish the DI-524UP to connect to my network via wirelss, howver not sure how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

You can geat cheap access points(such as Tp Link) which work in 'Client Mode' which will do what you want.

I thought some routers offer wireless access point, but I've got about 5 routers at home and I can't seem to find this feature on any of them.

Which models do you have and i can have a look at it.

1/. Linksys WAG54G
2/. Dlink DI524UP
3/. Dlink 604T
4/. Netgear WRG614
5/. DLINK 804
6/. Linksys WRT54gl with DD-wrt (I think this can act as an access point)
7/. A Billion unit packed away and a couple of others as well.

Have a look at the DD-WRT project website and see if any of your routers are supported. (the Netgear will be if it's Version 8)
If you have a match, load the firmware and then run the router in either client or bridged client mode.
The link to the supported hardware is below
