Setting up wireless in apt. Question about equipment

[Shadoe]

I have TimeWarner Road Runner cable and 4 machines that I would like to have share the connection. Problem is, the cable modem and machines are in different locations in my apartment. My goal is to get this working laying a little cable as possible.

I have two Microsoft MN700 wireless G routers (I have two because I found them REAL cheap). I would like to set up one of them to act as the router and share the cable modem connection. The other I would like to use to allow the wired machines to talk to the router. Is this at all possible with the equipment I have?

Attached is a rough diagram (<3 MSPaint!) detailing what I'd like to do.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry. Wrong hardware for the wrong job... The MN 700 does not have a wireless bridging nor wireless client modes. Some wireless routers have those abilities, but not the MN 700. The following thread details a similar situation.

That's kind of what I thought. I also have access to a MN500 which is an older model. While supporting only 802.11b, according to its documentation, it WILL do bridging. Do you think that using this as a bridge will allow me to do what I need to do?
