    Wired & Wireless routers together

     
    I currently have a desktop computer, modem & wired router maintained by my employer (I work at home)...I have a personal laptop top that is currently wired to my work router. Can I purchase a wireless router to connect to my work wired router so I can use the laptop in other areas of the house?

    Sure, you could plug the wire you have for your laptop now into a wireless access point and be good to go or if you already have a wireless router plug the hard line into one of the 4 ports (not the main wan). Go into the settings and turn off DHCP and you'd be good to go.
