[ale] Using wireless between networks

[mdhirsch at gmail.com (Michael Hirsch)]

My ouse has a wireless router (netgear 802.11g) in one room, but it
doesn't reach every where.  A lot of the rest of the house is wire for
ethernet, but not the room with the router (which is where the cable
modem comes in).  I'd like to Have another wireless box in anonther
room which would bridge between the wired netwrok in the rest of the
house and the netgear router.

How do I do this--this must be a standard thing?  Is this something
that all wireless routers do automatically?  What feature do I have to
look for?

Thanks,

Michael
