    Wireless Router to Router help

    Hi all, I have Sky Broadband coming into one room, connecting via cable to pc.

    I have a Wii in another room connected wireless through the Sky Router which works.

    My question regards my Blu-ray player which does not have Wireless built in, and I don't want to run a cable from it all the way upstairs to the Sky router. Is there a way to buy another Wireless router so that I can connect it via a cable to the Blu-ray player, and connect this Wireless router to my Sky router via Wireless?

    I'm not a techie so please try and keep any solutions simple for me!

    Many thanks.

    possible but unless you need lots of extra ethernet ports i'd get a wireless adaptor like this (espically if your not a techie)
    Recommend using the web interface though

    To be honest though i haven't found the online blu ray features to be worthwhile. You could try though by moving your sky router to your blu ray player temp to see if you think its worth while.

    Providing both routers support wireless bridging, it's possible.

    Most router support wireless bridging i think.

    Just find the router you may be buying and view its mannual on line and see if it mentions it
