Using a router to connect to a wireless network?

by tagam . Updated 16 years, 10 months ago

I’m not sure if what I want to do is possible, but I have a feeling it should be.

My Situation:

Downstairs – Cable Modem connected to a D-link Wireless G router, hard wired to a family computer.

Upstairs – Wireless N Router, hard wired to my computer and PS3.

What I want to do is connect the upstairs network to the downstairs wifi.

Drilling to run a wire isn’t an option, I realize I could just get a wireless card for my computer BUT I don’t want to have to use the computer to serve internet to the PS3, so ideally I need the router to connect to the downstairs wifi and serve it to the upstairs network.

Is there something I need to do the firmware on one of the routers to allow this, or do I need another piece of hardware to get this done or am I SOL?
