As my wireless router gets older my wireless doesn't go as far as it used to in terms of range. I have a moderately large house and I have been able to receive internet all the way from the other side of the house from where the wireless router is located. I have already put in the thought of moving the router to the center of the house but this requires lots of cabling (If you have ever studied to take the CCENT you'll know that the connection tends to slow down the longer the cables are). And there are too many interior walls so I can't run the coax cable.

My solution was to make one of my servers in the middle of the house which is connected to the router wirelessly bridge it's wireless connection to the ethernet connection but this is proving to be a bit of a challenge and I need some guidance. Since I am using a wireless interface as the receiving end for the internet I can't find anything on google about it. Like how do I make a wireless interface bridge to an ethernet when the wireless is receiving the internet.What kinds of IP addresses do I need to give the ethernet.

The rest of my plan here involves using a spare router I have lying around to create a second wireless signal that can reach over to the computers in the rest of the house. This seems like a viable solution unless someone knows how to make a bridge between two wireless interfaces and make it able to still browse the internet since in the past making a wireless to wireless bridge was not only near impossible but disabled the ability to browse the internet (I use this computer as my web server).

Any help helps.

Have you considered a wireless range extender?

Before I moved, the pastor at my old church used one to hop the signal from the parsonage next door to the church office. It worked. It wasn't great, because the buildings were about 70 yards apart, but it worked.

Here's some examples. Note that these are just examples, not an endorsement of a particular brand. I don't know what brand he used.

this is what i do:

I have but nobody wants to go out and buy one (something about how the cable and internet company should provide one, or because they didn't provide the router they don't want to buy something they think we don't need. I don't quite understand their argument). I just thought this was the better option since I have an old computer that normally runs as a server. I did anticipate a challenge since I have tried doing this before. the bridging part is the hard one since you supposedly need to give the bridge an IP address (I don't know why a bridge needs an ip address, and by that I mean the file that declares a bridge device, I thought just the interfaces needed ip addresses and not the bridge itself). the other challenging part is trying to use a wireless card with the ethernet. the wireless connections are handled by NetworkManager which doesn't support bridging. the network daemon does but doesn't play fair with wireless connections.
