double router? help

i have a 2WIRE DSL modem that also provides my wireless network. I also have a netgear wireless router that i havent found a use for until now. is there a way i can use the netgear router to connect wirelessly to the 2WIRE modem? i want to be able to do this so i can use linux without the stupid usb adapters dropping my connections every three minutes.

help?

The short answer is no, most wireless routers are delibarately designed so that they cannot function as a wireless client.

Most likely this reason is because they usually have a built-in switch, but only one computer can be connected when running in client mode according to 802.11 specs.

I have Senao AP 200mW 802.11b that will go in client mode with just about any AP, the only thing is that it only supports WEP 64/128. The high power makes the connection rock solid.
