Can I plug my other wireless router into my laptop's ethernet port. To share the wireless connection?
I’m trying to do this to have more wireless coverage in my house. Tried it once but the router had no internet connection. But the all the lights were green. My router is a Netgear WGR614. And how would I configure my laptop for this?

No, you can’t.

You need to setup Internet connection sharing. Search http://www.youtube.com for internet connection sharing.
You’ll also need a cross over cable unless network cards in both computers have mdi/mdix which I doubt they have.
If you end up saying the heck of it, I’ll get a wireless router, watch this first: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KWdOLgylg
dont you just bridge the connections
