Can my router do this?

[Albo23]

I currently have one wireless-G router in my home and the range isn't very far. I'm planning on buying this router: Newegg.com - Rosewill RNX-GX4 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless-G Broadband Router / Open Source & DD-WRT Firmware support and then flashing it to DD-WRT. My question is:

Can I use my new router to extend my wireless network and use the ethernet ports to connect it to my Xbox 360 at the same time? Does DD-WRT have that feature?

For the sake of specificity, are you going to link the two routers? Or are you going to replace your wireless-G with the new router (RNX-GS4)?

I'm going to link them.

Linking will no doubt boost your signal, and with an increase in signal range and capacity, you'll be able to transfer data faster than before. A drawback, is that if you hook up your Xbox to one router which is hooked to another which is hooked to your computer, you may have either an Overload/Crash or Slower/Weaker Signal. But that's in the worst case-scenario. For now, it should work without a doubt. With DD-WRT? I've used DD-WRT for a small establishment's network, and from what I remember, multiple port occupancy was possible.

Get back to me if you have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, etc..
