    Wired & wireless router on same network?

    I currently have a Linksys 802.11 B router in my office with 2 computers wired to it. My wife uses the wireless out in the living room. I was thinking of moving it out there so her signal strength would be better & running a wire from it into the attic & over to my office where I would plug another regular befsr41 router up & connect my 2 computers. Will there be any conflicts?

    My brother has the extra befsr41 so it wouldn't cost me anything.

    The main thing to remember is you'll probably need to turn off the dhcp server in the second router and configure it manually. Other than that, you shouldn't have any problems, basically it will just be operating as a network switch.
