You'll need routers that support either WDS or client bridge mode, so check their options for those.

Have broadband from UPC for Desktop.

Have purchased new Laptop. Want Router. Laptop will be used in close
proximity to Desktop. Require Wireless Router. Any recommendations ?
My UPC Modem is the old one - not Cisco and I don't know if its Wireless.
Would I need an upgrade before deciding on a Router ? Don't want to
invest in e-mobile as I'll be using the Laptop at home.

In anticipation , Thanks. JON.

If you have questions about the UPC modems, read the UPC modems sticky in the broadband forum:
