Hello!
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'll give it a try. I am wondering if it is possible to configure my network as illustrated in this picture:

I want that all computers will get Internet access.
I hope you can help me!
Yours sincerely

try it this way
The important items are:
1. only one router is set as DHCP host; the other set in AP mode.
2. each router have a unique ssid.
You can bridge 2 wlan routers wirelessly if the firmware of the routers support it, all you need is the mac address of the main router and the transmission settings on the second router to be the same as the first(channel,security,mixed b/g/possibly n), and possibly depending on your slave router, disable dhcp functions.

I did something similar when I was at my parents house a while ago, though it was 2 wireless routers wired to each other since the "main" router's signal didn't go upstairs well. So, I'm pretty sure it is possible, though it might be a pain to set up.

Thank you for your answers!
For the moment, I am not where the routers are, but I will try following your instructions when I get there.
Best regards

Looking at my DI-624 interface, it doesn't seem that way.
You would need an alternate firmware possibly. Or, if the wireless can reach the 2nd D-Link, just get a USB or PCI wireless adapter for the 2nd pc instead?

Well, the wireless signal from the DI-524UP reaches all the computers without any problems, but I don't want to buy wireless network cards for computer 2 and 3. Therefore I thought I could use the DI-624+ (which I already own) to convert the wireless signal from the DI-524UP to ethernet connections. When I get to the place where the routers are, I will check if it is possible to upgrade the firmware. If anyone has any more ideas, I would like to hear.
Best regards

Try checking over at DSLReports.com -- they are smart over there
Also they have lots of FAQS which might have an answer already.
