Default [Pending] Will this Network layout Work

Here is the situation,

I have 2 PC's and an Xbox 360

i am after having all devices having access to the internet but the xbox360 must be wired to my a PC for video streaming.

i was wondering if it is possible to create a network using 2 wireless routers.

i have 2 rooms, the telephone socket is in room 1 along with my router and PC1.

PC 2 and my Xbox 360 are in Room 2 and are currently connected to the router via wireless adapters.

wireless is too slow for me to stream video from PC2 to my xbox 360 so i want to know if it is possible to add another wireless router in Room 2, have both PC2 and xbox360 connected to that via ethernet cable, then connect to router 1 wirelessly from router 2 for internet purposes.

i have attatched a preview of the network layout and would appreciate any advice on if it would work or a better way to accomplish what i am after

In Control Panel's Network connections, you can "bridge connections," which means that Router B will get internet access from Router A but the PC will get that internet from Router B. It should work, just update the thread if you have issues.

well my ideal solution would be not to have router 2, at the minute PC2 connects to Router 1 wirelessly

and then the xbox360 is connected to PC2 via ethernet.

i was wondering if it is possible to set up a bridge so that the internet could be used on both PC2 and Xbox360

Everytime i bridge the 2 devices my firewire port becomes my high speed internet connection then both the wireless and ethernet dont work?

If so could you give me detailed instructions on how to accomplish this

Hmm. I'm not sure. Is there any way you can move the router to Room 2 and connect the 360 and the PC 2 computer to that and then move the wireless card to PC 1?

that is my best possibility which i have been looking at, but i dont have a phone socket in room 2 which would require me to have an extension running under the floor, but it might be worth it

If you have Dialup you won't be able to use the 360 on line. DSL you probably can but it will be laggy. You probably have a cable jack in that room anyway, right? But I'm pretty sure you can connect the 360 to the PC and bridge to it through Network Connections.
