ROUTER HELP PLEASE

I am trying to connect a 2nd router to an exsisting router in my home, the location of the 1st router is in a location where it is hard or impossible for other places in the house to cath the wifi. Is that possible and if so can you tell me exactly what i need to purchase . Oh, and the most cost effective. Thanks

Re: ROUTER HELP PLEASE

and welcome to the Forum

I moved your thread to Networking forum

You really want to add a Access Point . . not a router.

This explains the differences:

How do hubs, switches, routers, and access points differ?
