[...]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What you want is called a wireless bridge.&nbsp; Purpose-built wirelessbridges exist.&nbsp; Some router models can be configured to act as wirelessbridges.&nbsp; My quick look at the WNR2000v2 documentation suggest that yourantique does not offer such a mode.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Your local thrift store might offer more capable devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If running an Ethernet cable would be very difficult, then thereexist adapters to use existing power wiring or co-axial cables, instead,but these tend to cost more than plain-old Ethernet cables, and may beless fast and reliable.&nbsp; A Web search for, say:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; powerline adapterand/or:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; moca adapter&nbsp;should find many things.
