Wireless router

How do I connect a wireless router to a wireless modem? I am attempting to run a media center extender but the supplied Modem is to slow causing a delay.
Thanks
Brian

Re: Wireless router

Presumably it is not the modem which is slow, but the wireless component? So it is for example a 54Mbps and your router is a 108Mbps. In such a setup, you would disable the wireless on the modem via its menus, then either plug it into the routers WAN port and have the router control ip addressing (DHCP), or plug the modem into a LAN port on the router, and disable DHCP on the router, so the modem controls the addressing. The first option is the normal method, but I have often found the second method to be more stable.
