First of all,just to clear things up,"optic fiber" is what we already have at our house,letting us download 100mb and upload 10mb (10,0~MB/s DL/ 1,1MB/s UL)

The thing is we have an Optic Fiber'd Router wich covers the bottom floor where we actually live at but (the WiFi signal) can't reach the top floor

Is it possible to connect an Ethernet Cable between the Optic Fiber Router and connect it to the other WiFi router from the top floor (to well,dunno...share optic fiber?)

Sorry,this is new to me and can't explain it much right ^^;

Thanks in advance

Sure, just hook the second router to the 1st like you would any PC. You will want to make the 2nd router a 'dummy' router..disable its firewall, its DNS to assign IP's etc..so the first can handle it.

How to to do the settings though you will have to look up, there is 1001 routers, and 1001 router GUi's. So youd have to look it up for yours.
