I have a wireless router in my basement which supplies the main internet connection for all the computers in my house.

I picked up a Wireless G router for VERY cheap from a friend's parents... and what I want to do is have a wireless router upstairs so that when I need to fix a computer and have to hard wire a connection, I don't need to haul the thing downstairs to plug it in.

Now, this is where I'm at a loss... how do I do this?

Basically I need the wireless router upstairs to acquire an IP from the wireless router downstairs... for example, it'll be 192.168.1.50. Then obviously any computers I wire into the router upstairs will use 192.168.1.50 as the gateway.

I'm not too keen on wireless router setups, but I'll give the manual another read... perhaps there's something I'm missing, but has anyone done this before?
