If you can return this one and get one of the 802.11g, coming Memorial Day there is going to be a Motorola one on sale for $9.99.

This Router being an 802.11b probably has WEP only security.

Most Routers (including yours) can not be Bridged unless they are WDS (Buffalo, Belkin). http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html

You can use the second Router with a Cable as a Switch with an Access Point.
