Can you use one wireless router to pick up the signal of another wireless router and broadcast?

Question

broad cast the same network from the original router to a separate computer in my workshop near my house.

Answer 1

If you do this with a router, you will have to use special firmware.  They also sell wireless range expanders that are setup in the box to do just that.

I believe this video shows you how to turn a Linksys router into both a router and wireless range expander.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=3hXgK6INpkI

Answer 2

Yes, this is called "Daisy Chaining".  However this is not a plug and play task as several setting will need to be changed to make it work. Wireless access points might be more appropriate and easier to configure in this case.

Answer 3

No.
