I was wondering if anyone can help, as this almost seems impossible to do.
I want to connect 2 different networks together as 1 network using wireless.
1st Network
I have a Netgear Router with ADSL Modem built in for internet conectivity.
2x PC's
1x wireless laptop (can be plugged in if this conflicts)
2nd Network
Origo wireless router with 4 ports
1x PC
1x X-Box
Shown in mspaint below

The red lines shows wireless conectivity. - blue is the rj45 TP cables.
However the 1st network has internet but cant see the second network.
I have 1st network set to SSID : SlyNET and channel 11
2nd network SSID : SlyNet and channel 6
setup DHCP on the 1st network to see if it worked, nope so then tried with all manual ip's to see if it works. nope.
after many hours of trying i went out and brought a wireless access point....
plugged that into the 2nd router and disabed wireless on the 2nd router. still no joy.
what im basically asking is it possible to connect 2 routers VIA wireless on a network, as the 2nd router is turned just into a switch box.
