Question: I have a a home network, pretty simple.

```
Internet <-> Modem <-> Router <-> Wireless Devices

```

But the thing is my house is pretty big and that setup is on the on the first floor, but the wireless signal doesn't get to the 2nd floor. I have another router lying around and I thought I could use it to give wireless network to the upper floor. 

Is this possible?

If it is I was thinking to do it like this:

```
                                            Router 2 (2nd floor) <-> wireless devices
Internet <-> Modem <-> Router 1 (1st floor) ||
                                            Wireless Devices

```

Is this right? There's a better way?

Thanks!

Answer: 
Assuming they are compatible with DD-WRT. Flash both of em and make a wireless repeater bridge.

Exactly what I did. Works like a charm.

or wired network to the second floor to the second router but set the router to obtain dhcp then the second router will act like wifi network switch
