2 seperate routers on 1 connection

[Guest]

Using XP Pro SP2 I have a simple wireless connection to a broadband
connection. This facilitates the use of a wireless laptop. The wireless
router is positioned via a telephone extension socket to the front of the
property.

I want to use a desktop pc (XP Pro SP2) from a distant location on the other
side of the property via another telephone extension socket in that area. The
distance between these two locations is too great for the wirelss signal and
too awkward to run a cat5 cable between them.

I have a standard broadband router (non wireless) which I can utilise in
this required secondary location for the desktop pc.

Will this use of two different types of router into the one telephone system
work OK and what specifics should I be aware of in connecting and
configuration?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi

It is hard to give you an answer.

1 .Telephone connection id usually used to plug a DSL Modem.

2. Some people use the telephone line with special adaptors (HPNA) to
replace CAT5e wire. It is Not clear which one you are talking about.

It is impossible to understand the topology of your Network, but usually one
Network needs only One Router. Two Routers create two independent Networks.
If you use HPNA you need an additional HPNA adaptor for the new computer Not
a Router.

Thanks for the response Jack............yes, my question is full of holes.
Difficult to put over. The property has a broadband telephone service and a
wireless router was installed by the telephone company, allowing a laptop
with wireless facilities to connect without problems.

There is a requirement to site an un-used desktop pc in a rear basement
location which is well out-of-range of the wireless network already
established. However, there is a telephone extension jack-point within this
basement location plus a spare broadband modem that can be utilised.

Will the use of this seperate router to connect the desktop pc, thereby
establishing a completely seperate and independent network, have a negative
effect on the already established wireless network or will it simply not
work. If it is entirely possible to make such an arrangement are there
specifics to be aware of within configuration of this extra network.

I'm struggling here Jack................don't know how to put it over. I'm
based in Spain and the local service provider couldn't be more unhelpful !
