 | Network Help RequiredHi. I've tried searching but can't find an answer. I've got an O2 wireless router that's plugged into my ADSL connection. Is it possible to then connect an old O2 or Sky router wireless to my main router wirelessly and then run something off the second router through a network cable? |

  | I would say no as most wireless routers do not look for an incoming wireless signal. They only broadcast.

| You could always use powerline adapters which turn your electrical mains into an Ethernet network.

| you could get a apple airport express they plug into a mains and it connects to your router and makes a new connection can be used wireless but you can also plug a ethernet cable into it. They cost £83 new but sure you can get one of ebay for less. AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n and AirTunes - Apple Store (UK) |

| Thanks all for your replies. I'm only trying to avoid buying an xbox wireless adapter but think I might as well bite the bullet and get one anyways. |
