solve my internet troubles...
 

I have cable high speed internet at home with a cable modem. It's set up in my office, at one end of my house. From the cable modem I have a wireless modem that has a wired connection to my 2 desktop computers and I use wireless for my laptop but my living room is at the other end of the house and the signal is very weak there. I tried hooking up two routers (first a wired, then my wireless) in series from the cable modem but it doesn't work or at least I couldn't get it to work. I figured I could run a longer cable from the first and locate my wireless router in a more central location. Is there something I could buy to connect to the cable modem so I can run 2 routers from it?

How about running one of these from your wireless router?

Just install this Access Point in a centralized location in your house and wire it to the router. Should take care of your problem.

Not sure what brand of equipment you have, but there may be a "speed booster" type of device that you can buy.

I have seen success using LinkSys equipment that had similar signal problems. The LinkSys SpeedBooster device worked great.

Pick-up a Belkin Pre-N wireless router and all your troubles will be solved.

Very fast, very far away. We push a signal to a core workgroup and then to over 100 feet away with no difference in speed.

Prior to this we had a G router and an access point and way too much time on the phone with India.

Here's the equipment I currently have:

Motorola SURFboard Cable modem (provided by cable Co.)
Linksys model WRT54GS wireless router w/Speedbooster
Network Everywhere (Linksys Group) NR041-WM 4-port wired router (not currently used but available)

My living room is approximately 60 ft from my office with a few walls, one being concrete, and a floor in between. I think I might try Randy's suggestion using the Linksys Access Point first. Thanks guys for your suggestions.
