As far as I know, no. :(

If you're trying to get double the speed it doesn't work like that.

Im not trying to double the speed.
heres why i want 2 routers on one line - we have a sky router downstairs(that is turn on/off when it is needed) and i want a router upstairs with my PC. if i were to get a wireless access point this would mean i have to come downstairs and turn the sky router on(this could become quite annoying)

Thanks for the reply

Replace the current router with a wireless one.

Then run any extra PCs via wireless.

One router, no disconnecting.

i guess il can move the sky router upstairs and buy a access point for downstairs.

Cheers

Providing you use decent technology and set it up correctly it works very well.

Some of the new stuff like Mimo out now is much better than the old tech.
