    Why do you need a second router?

    Sounds moe like you want a second wireless access point? (Or a longer range access point?) Or do you want more ethernet ports in the second room?

    • My second room is a separate building all together and I only have one phone point in each buildingDancer

      What exactly is a switch though?
      sorry      Dancer
    • so its two separate ADSL connections (two separate BT lines?)ribit
    • I have no Ethernet ports anywhereDancer
    • A switch is basically just an extender (gives you more ethernet ports) nothing to configure...ribit
    • Your BT router must have ethernet ports at the back (otherwise its not a router)ribit
    • Sorry, yeah it does have ports but I do not have ports running to my external building. Just a phone lineDancer
