The wireless connection provided by the Sky Router DG934G is terrible, it is near the telephone line into my house near the front door and it can barely reach rooms upstairs. I was wondering if it'd be possible to attach a better router to it as we have one from when we had a dedicated Modem. If so how would it be done?

N.B. Not interested in plug in range extenders, if I am doing anything I'll just run a cable under the carpet but I'd rather the simplest option.
Thanks.

You might be able to run it in bridge mode. I have not looked it up to see if this device has that option. If you bridge it then you could move the complete routing function to a new router.

Otherwise you can plug a new router running as a AP into this router and extend the cable as far as practical and then let it provide wireless. You would want it on a different channel so you could use both devices or you could disable the wireless in the sky router. You would let the sky box do the NAT and the DHCP and other router functions.
