Question:

Can I Use Wireless Router as a Switch w/o HARD-WIRING the Secondary and Host Routers Together?

Basically, I have a host wireless router (D-Link DI-624) set up downstairs. I'd like to use a secondary wireless router (Linksys WRT54G-V8 w/ embedded 4-port switch) upstairs as a switch for a couple of older computers and a printer upstairs.

Seems like I researched this a couple of months ago, found an article online, but lost it. Is this even possible? I'm seeing plenty of articles about this being possible if you hard-wire the two routers together but, unfortunately, I have no ethernet run in the house and the house itself isn't conducive to additional wiring - at least not without hiring a professional. Just wondering if this was feasible. Thanks!
