[sorry for the garbled heading, but I'm finding it hard to explain what I'm trying to do, which is making a google search for help useless].

In the old house, I had our main router which was connected to fibre broadband in the office, so I was able to plug an old desktop and a non-wireless printer straight into the LAN ports on the back ... instant network, and I could print wirelessly from my laptop.

In the new house, there is no phone jack in the office, so the router is under the bed (don't ask!). I have a spare Belkin router from a while ago, that I'd like somehow to connect up wirelessly to the main router, and then put that in the office next to the old desktop and printer and have everything the way it was before.

Is this possible? I think certainly yes, but is it possible for a layperson to get it to work? From my googling, I came upon things like flashing DD-WRT updates to the router, which I think that I could probably do, if all the instructions weren't written for people who already know what they're doing...

If it makes a difference, the laptop and desktop are both running W7 Pro, and the Belkin router is an 'n wireless modem router'.

Any help appreciated, before I go and buy a cheap wireless card for the desktop and a wireless module for the printer (maybe $75 for the pair).

Thanks
