Ahh I see, I was under the impression that you couldnt connect the 2nd router to the first using the WAN.
Hmmmm will see if this works Thanks Aragorn


As to why not go down the road Jonny mentioned. Well simple really I dont want a wireless device in the bedroom 10ft from where I sleep and directly next to where I sit at the comp. Just how I feel I spose. Would much rather have it 25ft and a couple of walls and a floor inbetween. I got me one of those tin foil hats too
