Hi All
I do some work for my daughter's in-laws, they have large rambling house with an outbuilding used as an office. Installed a four-port + wireless router to replace a four-port router in the main house about two years ago. They have recently bought a three-in-one wireless printer for the office but the signal is intermittent. Thought I would re-install the four-port wired router and install the wireless router in the living room, which is much closer to the office.
Can I have two routers connected to the same telephone line at different locations?
Thanks in advance

A repeater is probably what you could do with. Note they only use WEP security.

Here is a link to some DIY info.
