Do I have to physicaly connect the AP to the router?
Well, of course it has to be on the same network! Typical setup (which I
have done for clients with outbuildings many times):
Bldg. 1 - cable/dsl modem wired to one wireless router. Ethernet cabling
done throughout the building with dataports in the various offices.
Bldg. 2 - Ethernet cabling coming from Bldg. 1 (or a central network closet
with a switch) with dataports in the various offices. Router 2 set up as an
access point (no DHCP) connected to one of the dataports or a switch.
The alternative is to purchase a second Internet connection from your ISP
and use the second wireless router there, making this a separate network
from your first one.

Here is the senario:
4 port wirelessr router in kitchen w/computer connected through one port, my
computer is upstairs w/wireless dongle.
I have a sound card, usb 2.0 card and an nvidia geforce 6200 video card in
the 3 pci slots and a SCSI controller w/NIC on the last pci slot. I traded a
d-link dwa-552 (15% to 30% signal strength) for a d-link dwa-160 (2% to 10%
signal strength)
I am trying to figure out a way to get better signal strength w/o running
anymore wires.
