I'm thinking about buying a wireless extender but is it possible to use the second router for this purpose (wireless bridge I think is the term)?
If so, how? Could it be done via a homeplug connection (I have several of these in different rooms)?
Yes you can do this with the homeplug connection.
1. Change the IP address to so they don't clash (eg 7800N 1 (Main Router) - 192.168.1.254, 7800N2 (extender) - 192.168.1.253) (Advanced >> Configuration >> LAN)
2. On the 7800N2, disable the DHCP, and setup the wireless (you can disable the DHCP under 'Advanced >> Configuration >> LAN >> DHCP Server, set the 'DHCP Server Mode' to 'Disable' and Apply
3. Plug a Ethernet connection from a homeplug to any of the LAN ports on 7800N 2
4. Restart any devices connected to 7800N 2
