Hi,
We have 2 Networks in our house. Both used to be separated but now I want to combine the too. The problem is that they lie on 2 different floors so a physical connection is impossible.
I have an access-point (Asus WL-330g) but that seems to need a physical connection at the internet-port, I also have a netgear router but it also needs a cable to connect. Are there any routers/APs that can obtain their ip address via wlan?

why don't you assign them a static IP?

a static ip would not change the fact that there is no physical connection between the router and the other network. I guess I'll have to put an additional wlan-bridge between router and 2nd lan.
