#1 Noob Question about wireless Routers

[NaiMan]

Sorry to ask this question, but I am a Networking NOOB.

I have 2 D-Link Routers...

one's a 614+ and the other is a 524+ or something like that. Both are wireless B routers.

the questions is...

Can I hook up the 524+ router to a computer that's about 20 yards away without any internet connection, and have it communicate with my 614+ router that already has WAN set up?

in other words, use the 524+ router as a wireless connection source?

sorry, to ask this.

thanks.

Unfortunately, D-Link Routers cannot be configured as WDS or Clients.

You can use them to get better coverage by using a CAT5e wire, and the computer would need Wireless client card (there USB Wireless cards on sale for about $10-$20).
