I am looking to connect a Belkin N150 wireless router to an existing Belkin guest access point. The access point is set up to have a browser based password login. I was wondering if it was possible to have it set up so I can connect to the N150 after it has connected to the guest access point. The main point of this is I am sharing my neighbors internet and I would like to be able to use my xbox 360 on that connection. With the browser based login though my xbox 360 won't connect.

Adding a second router is possible, but in your case may not produce the desired results. It will come down to whether your second router can store the needed login credentials (for the webpage login).

From the N150 manual "If your ISP requires a user name and password, make sure that you have typed in your user name and password correctly." There is the ability to enter login in credentials on the external interface, but it not typically used to login via the guest webpage like you are doing now (via your browser). In other words, I don't think that what you are proposing will work.

You could setup you PC to provide Internet Connection Sharing to your other devices as a work around. It would mean that your PC would have to be powered...

Yes he does know I'm using the internet. That's how I got the password for the browser login. I just don't want to be a bother and ask him to change it to a normal password input since he's being kind and letting me use it.
