How do I use 2nd router to boost network?

[starbuck]

I had replaced my trusty linksys wrt54gs router with a belkin 300n wireless router. Compared to my old linksys, the range wasn't as good (router in upstairs room, some pc's downstairs).

Just bought a new linksys/cisco E1000 for about £35, and the range is now better. I am now wondering if I can use the belkin to boost the strength of my wireless signal downstairs?

Apparently you can use it as an access point. Is this the setting I should use.

If I can use the belkin to boost the signal, how to I access the belkin to set it up, bearing in mind the linksys is now plugged in to my modem.

you cant use the e1000 as a wireless repeater as it comes, but you can flash it with dd wrt and set it up, have a look on the wrt forums (google it)

Sorry I wasn't clear before - The e1000 is now my main router, and I wanted to use the belkin as a repeater.
