two wireless routers?

[Sniper82]

I have a extra router that I'm not using. I am curious can I take it and hook it to my Xbox/PS2 and get a internet connection off my other router(without wires going to it)? If so how would I set it up?

You can not connect two Routers (as Routers) to the same Internet account unless you have a multiple External IPs account.

Jack, I think sniper wants to know how to use a router as a client/workgroup bridge because the game console doesn't have a wired connection.

Thanks Spidey.

So he meant Of not Off.

OK, and the answer is.

It depends on the Router, if the Router can work a s a Client it can be done, look at the Router's specs. Do not get upset 95% of Wireless Routers can not work as Clients.

What is Client Mode? http://www.ezlan.net/Wireless_Modes.html

Well since my Xbox is hooked to my PC is there a way to share my internet connection from my PC to the Xbox? Or will that only work with two PC's? I have XBMC if that helps.

Not all routers can act as a bridge. Depends on the modes they support.
