Using wireless routers to extend connection

Hi guys and Galls.

A simple question with (hopefully) a simple answer.

I have two netgear wireless routers WGR614v9 and WGR614v6.

Currently the v6 is the only (active) router but I'll be changing to the v9 shortly. I was wondering though if I can extend the wireless reach further using the second router as a bridge, I have cable but I'd prefer router->router->laptop without cables. Is this possible and if so where do I start (networking is not my forte)?

 

This should help.

Using WPN824, WGR614, or WGT624 Routers as an Access Point

 

Thanks Whiskeyman that looks good.

I'm owe you a couple of whisky's no water or ice of course.

I'll resolve this thread once I've tested it.

 

Thanks for the advice Tony

Just to let you know there's only one desktop wired to the main router and the laptop which I can use in my house but no (wireless) access from my neighbours (right next door) the plan is only to have access for a couple of hours a day from the neighbours so it shouldn't be a problem. I'd rather that than tie cables to the walls and drill holes through a couple. Since I only have a 10MB/s internet service 25% of 54MB/s should be adequate.
