This is by far a very confusing question, as the title probably suggests, but I'm eager to find out if this would be possible.
So I have a 2 in 1 modem/router (cable). I'm too far away from it to use an Ethernet cable (also wouldn't want cables running along my house). So to compensate this, as most people do, I use a wireless network adapter, preferably a usb-to-computer adapter. However, over the years this old wireless adapter is finally starting to give out. So to possibly save me the money, and probably improve my performance. I broke out my previous wireless router to try another/different alternative. An alternative that I personally wouldn't know where to begin. (continued)
Basically, I want to connect my main modem/router to my wireless router (obviously through a wifi/wireless connection). Then use an Ethernet cable coming from my wireless router to my computer. To me, doing this sounds quite simple and I'm sure it's not the first time someone has asked (I most likely missed a guide out there), but I just don't know where to begin with this alternative.
Would anybody know any exact guides they could link me, that would be able to assist me?
Perhaps maybe some of you can give me a step-by-step guide if there isn't any relevant guides out there?
Thanks,
