using wireless router instead of wireless adaptor to add a computer?

[dboy]

I'm setting up a computer in a closet to run a security camera and mp3 system. I'd like to make it wireless and already have a wireless router. Lately though I've been seeing more deals on wireless routers than usb adaptors... is there any reason I couldn't connect a wireless router to it, turn off the router functions, and use that to connect to the rest of my network? Seems to me like it might give better performance too (I'd be able to mount it high on the wall and have a real antenna instead of just some little usb adaptor thingy)

to use a second wireless router as a wireless adapter to connect to the first wireless router, i believe it would have to be able to act as a wireless bridge which, last time i was shopping for them, not many were capable of.

just get a wireless adapter, you can prolly get one for 30 or 40 bucks anyway and not have to worry about the setup like you might for a second router

i think many wireless routers CAN be used as wireless access points (i.e. bridges). take a look at the individual ones.
