Default Question about wireless router..

Can you use an ethernet cable and plug a wireless router into an already active normal router and have it work? My parents wont unplug theres so this is my only choice..

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

linksys makes a router called WAP11 if i am correct. It is wireless b, but it does what your saying. If you can buy two, you can turn the second into a repeater

I already bought a Linksys Wireless - B Broadband Router Model:BEFW11S4. So is there anything at all that I can do?

Yep you can do that, try just disabling the DCHP server and see if that works.

You may also need to manually enter in infomation about the other router, it's the same as a cable internet connection except for DHCP server
