Airtel router --- (via wired connection) Netgear Wireless router 1----cat 5 A--- connector -- cat 5 B----- Netgear Wireless router 2.

This setup Does not work

I would recommend you do 1 thing
Tell them to install a parallel broadband line in the other room also
The in one room connect the modem then the router and do the same in the other room

This is how i have done it.

Whatcanthisbe, from what I understand, you have a ADSL connection and you want it to be used with 2 wireless routers? If this is the case, can you please post the make and model of your ADSL modem and the make and model of your Netgear Wireless routers? It will make it easy for me to give you detailed configuration.

Do you have netgear routers or access points?

@whatcanthisbe, your description is a bit confusing:
1. There does not seem to be any difference between your "Steps", other than the cables used. The cables per se don't have anything to contribute to the problem - unless they are faulty
2. You have said "This setup WORKS" against each one of them!

Unless your house is like the Bhool bhulaiya of Bada Imambara in Lucknow, only one WiFi access point / router will suffice. Signal does get attenuated if going through walls and concrete slabs, but unless there are more than 3 walls/slabs in between, the laptop card will be able to work with the signal. The location of the unit is crucial.

From your modem, take a cable to WIFI-1 router and assign an IP. Then setup WIFI-2 router to connect to WIFI-1 - no cables. (wireless remember)

You are set

Hi abhinav,
Can you provide details on parallel broadband lines? I was under impression that one can connect only one modem to one telephone line. I will be having a 2 storied house shortly and I want 2 broadband connections on 2 floors ( not with wifi) using same telephone line.
