[Ham-Computers] Configuring a distant router connection for home QTH

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

John,

I don't run wireless here but if the port on the existing wireless router 
is one into which you could plug a computer, printer, etc. for a wired 
connection, I do know that you can daisy-chain routers.  What I don't know is 
anything about the RF side.  If the distant router is outside the wireless 
connection radius to the first router and within the cable run limits, I don't 
see why it wouldn't work.
