    Hey guys.

    Hope the attached picture makes sense.

    Basically, looking at this for a friend.

    Is set up as is at the moment.

    There is no internet access in section two, they are two independent networks with no connectivity between the two.

    Is it possible to wirelessly share the internet from router 1 (the belkin) with router 2 (the netopia), so that router 2 can in turn share the internet with the clients of that network. Running a cable between the two routers is not an option.

    I don't think we can do it with what we have at the moment, but would be very greatful to hear your suggestions / ideas.

    Thanks a Million

    Brian

    Use WDS or client bridge mode if the routers support them.
