You have to make the router act as a bridge with another router to use it to boost the signal. There are two (2) ways to connect a Linksys router to another router/modem, however this model only supports a wired connection:

1. LAN to LAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the Linksys router (router A) to one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of another router (router B).

This type of cascading requires the main and the secondary router to be on the same LAN IP segment to allow the computers and other devices to connect to both routers. This configuration is recommended if you want to share files and resources within the network.

Here how to do so in detail:http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&articl...

This will really boost the network signal and speed however its not very useful as it require a wire, you have to upgrade to higher end models to get the wireless bridge mode. Sorry, you can always buy a very long high speed ethernet CAT5 cable to the other router and hide it under carpet or try and run it through air vents, or you might invest in an ethernet over power line unit such as this:http://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Powerline-TL-PA211-S...

then run the ethernet cord to a power line nearby and wherever the router is, this however will slightly affect the quality of service.

Linksys Repeater

Linksys E1200 Review

I have looked at the emulator for E1200 v1 and v2 and neither showed option for repeater.

To be honest, I am not a fan of repeating wireless signal, as the bandwidth is normally 1/2 of the unit it is repeating from.

I would agree with Jamal as it is better to extend the wireless coverage by adding another Access Point and connect that to the existing router's LAN port. You could set both the Access Point and the router with the same network name and encryption (wireless key).

Also agree with Jamal on use Powerline AV adapter to extend the network. There are Powerline AV adapter with wireless Access Point. You would need a powerline adapter that connects to the router's LAN port and the one with the wireless capability at the remote location. The only concern is that you would need to make sure that the power circuit is on the same phase and does not exceed 300 meters wiring length.

But what if connecting to LAN is physicaly not possible?
