2 Routers(1 wired, 1 wireless) on same network

    At home I have a wireless router connected to broadband and a desktop in the attic. This wireless network works fine throughout the house except in the bottom room. I have another router but it's only a wired one. Is there anyway I can use this wired router in the bottom room?

    You'll need to put the second router into bridge mode. Then connect it to the router upstairs that's connected to the Internet. The best way is to run CAT5/CAT5e cable between the two routers -- from one port of the router upstairs to one port of the router downstairs.

    If you're not up for chasing walls or putting conduits on the wall, you can use a device that will run network traffic over your power lines in your home. I'd recommend you use one of these:
    1. Devolo Highspeed Starter Kit
    2. Netgear Powerline adapters
    These will act as a cable between the two routers. Speeds are better than wireless also.

    You could also connect them wirelessly by purchasing another device but that might not be the best solution considering the wireless reception downstairs isn't great.
