John,

How far is the building away from the house. Can't you just get a USB wireless adaptor for the computer? Or a wireless card?

> I've got a dumb question for the group here because I just don't know. If I run a CAT 5/6E cable from one of the ports on my home wireless router outto an out building on my property, can I just put another Linksys wireless router on the end of it and expect to see the signal or am I missing something here?
> I'm asking because I don't have a spare router to try this on and seems likeasking the question is a good move prior to buying another router.  My concernis that the existing router will have a problem with another router on the circuit.
> TIA, John
> P.S. Using Cox Cable with a standard Motorola Modem & Linksys Wireless router.
