Here goes...

I have found that my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) in the basement isn't quite strong enough to give a robust signal to my iPhone while I am working out in the garage.

The wireless router was moved upstairs to a rear bedroom and a wired router (D-Link DI-604) was put in its place.

Is there a way that it can be set up so that the wireless router will still work while the wired one in the basement is connected to my wired devices (I have structured wiring in the house so every room has cat-5 run to it).

One oddity... my main desktop is a G5 cheese grater (OS 10.5.x) and for some reason it will only get onto the internet if the cable modem is plugged into a LAN port on the router (not the WAN port as is recommended ). Every time a shaw guy comes by they always move the ethernet cable into the WAN port so I just nod and agree and then once they leave I switch the cable modem back into a LAN port.

I have tried
1) cable modem -> WAN port DI-604 and then a LAN port DI-604 -> WAN port on the Wireless Linksys and I get no internet through the wireless or on my desktop (wired)

2) cable modem -> LAN port DI-604 and then a LAN port DI-604 -> WAN port on the Linksys and I will get internet on the desktop (wired) but no internet on the wireless network

3) Cable modem -> LAN DI-604 and then a LAN DI-604 -> LAN port on the Linksys with the same result as #2

I am hoping that this is something that can be set up, but might require some kind of configuration on the two routers.

If anyone can offer some guidance I would be very grateful.

Best regards,
