I currently have a Linksys WRT54G router in my house for two machines that are wireless in the house. I have a detached garage that is definitely getting weak reception. What I WANT to do is run a Cat6 cable out there, because I am going to put another desktop machine out there. But, if I have people over working on cars, I'd like to be able to have 'em be able to hook up to the network wireless.

Can I put another wireless router out there, and hook up the cable from the router in the house to the WAN port on the router in the garage, and have it get an IP address automatically (I am using DHCP), and then have it set up like normal from there? I need both wired and wireless if I'm gonna do what I want.

Thanks.
