[Novalug] adding a router

[Beartooth]

 	My current router, a Linksys WRT54G2, can be set to 
provide wireless access, or turn it off; the latter is the 
default.

 	But I want to be able to provide wireless access in the 
guest room (where I also keep a supernumerary laptop for those 
who don't bring their own) -- and this router's signal doesn't 
reach that far (nor can I position it any higher).

 	I asked the local shop for a dedicated WAP, but one I 
could turn on or off. No can do, she said.

 	I'm looking for a way around. The present router, like 
its defunct predecessors, is clearly designed to handle LANs 
which include another router, though I don't know how.

 	Also, I have a currently unused ethernet cable between my 
desk and a point much nearer the guest room. I'm thinking I 
could get a second router, put one of the two on the long cable, 
and manage that way.

 	Will this work? Is there a pons asinorum on setting it 
up? Is there a better way?
