Using a wireless router to another wireless router

[Spydermag68]

Ok I have a problem. I just upgraded to Windows 7 - 64-bit and I can no longer get my Linksys WMP300N card to work. I have searched the internet and found a "solution" but it did not work for me.

I have one Linksys WRT160N router that other wireless computers are connected to.

I was wondering if I could buy another WRT160N router, and configure it so it would act like a wireless card. This could be helpful to me then I can also add my printer up to the network so all computers to print in it.

Yeah, bridge mode with either DD-WRT or other 3rd party firmware is the way to go. Been doing this for several years now, even managed to get a $10 router to load the firmware and made it a real useful purchase (compared to what it could do stock).
