I have 2 Billion 7401 VGP Routers
The 1 router is currently in use and have 2 computers connected through the router. I use ICS as I have Neotel as my Dialup Connection.
I have another computer on the far side of my house with the other router connected to that computer. Is there anyway I can link the 2 routers up so I can enable ICS/network with the 3rd computer ?

Any help or suggestions in using both routers together would be greatly appreciated, I am a nub when it comes to networking so anything would be a great help thanx.
 
First, wrong subforum.

Second, you have 2 options.
Ethernet cable from one router to the other, end of story.

OR:
Enable and configure WDS if they are wireless and in range of each other in order to "spread" your wireless network.

Yep I realised after I had posted and tried to delete it but I couldnt lol
Thank you wheunis I am busy googling how to Enable and configure WDS now to see if I can go that route, If I can't get that to work I will have to resort to an ethernet cable from router to router, thanx a mill, greatly appreciated.
 
After googling a little I found just what I was looking for, thanx again for pointing me in the right direction wheunis. Also surprisingly I googled "Enable and configure WDS" and found this thread on the first page in google lol, that was fast.
I have to do a firmware upgrade first so will do that and setup WDS tomorrow morning and let you know if I came right, although it seems straight forward enough so I should get it right.
