EDIT: so I'll need an ethernet cable to plug into the additional routers and configure them, correct?
If you don't have one handy then you can probably reset the router to factory defaults and log in wirelessly.
I'll still need to cable one of the routers, I mean
the issue is that our landlord-roommate often goes away for days at a time, and refuses to leave her room unlocked, despite the fact it's the only gateway to the laundry machines, second bathroom (and shower), and the wireless router
so we can't plug anything in to configure it, nor can we steal the cabling from that room for the time being

no, i don't think you need to plug in a repeater

If by "cable" you mean "connect to the modem" then yes. If you can connect your laptop to the landlord's network already then you have just as much ability to configure the router as you would with a wired connection.
well yeah but I need to make it a repeater, which requires accessing the settings, which requires plugging it into either the cable and doing it wirelessly or directly via my ethernet port
EDIT: Bama, then how do I configure the routers which are not part of the network via the network? Walk me through it
EDIT 2: wait, I think you misunderstand ... I don't need to configure router #1, I need to configure routers #2/#3
Mmm, I love it when the sales rep visits. He brings pie and muffins.
I had a blueberry muffin yesterday for breakfast, and some caramel apple pie for dessert yesterday.
Today I had lemon meringue for breakfast and now I'm having pumpkin pie covered in whipped cream for dessert.

ROUTER 1 is the one in you landlord's room right? And 2 & 3 you are gonna place elsewhere?
if so, then 2 & 3 are the repeaters, so plug into them directly from your computer via an ethernet cable.
once they are setup, you can unplug them and put them wherever.

Ok, that's what I was getting at earlier with the factory default thing (I'm assuming that these routers are currently in some unknown configuration). What you would do is reset (there's a little button on linksys routers, for example) and power router #2 then connect to it's network with the default SSID or whatever ("linksys" to continue that example) and then connect to the router with whatever default credentials it uses (no username, password "admin", on ip 192.168.1.1). From there you would want to set it to infrastructure mode, if available, and from there it should be just like connecting any other machine to router #1's network.
This is all off the top of my head, so that's not necessarily comprehensive.
edit: to restate, I don't see any reason you would need a cable, other than for simplicity.
there's a shitload of routers broadcasting under the SSID of 'linksys'
how do I differentiate, since the Windows network browser only shows all of them as one ephemeral entry?
Well shit. Is there any way to have it display different access points? It has been a while since I've used that (and there's no wifi card in the machine I'm on) so I'm not exactly sure.
Of course, you could just connect to the network, log into the router (since they probably also have the default login/pass) and change the SSID. Repeat until you've found your router.
Also they finally repaired my wall and put my furniture back where it's supposed to be. Maybe this means I won't have this loud ass HEPA filter outside my door on Monday!

You know, I don't like to say this too often, but...
I'm not going to go through all the trouble just because I'm hungry
I'm a shitty angler anyway, and it's a shitty lake, and I probably wasn't going to catch anything
better to just sit here and wait until Monday when I have my interview on whether or not I need food benefits
You know if you call DSHS, like right now because it's a damn Friday and they are bureaucrats, and explain your situation you might be able to get some emergency food aid today to hold you over until they make their decision.

Owned.
That's not just owned, that's hunted down, captured, marched to the nearest port, shipped across the Atlantic in the belly of a ship, docked, put up for auction, bought, and then owned.
Obo change the damn SSID never leave the SSID the name of the router.
This is why I had no qualms about suggesting that she break other people's networks to sort this shit out. People that don't take the time to configure wireless routers deserve (most of) what they get.

I sorta came off like an ass but I'm too tired to sound nice.
I was looking for the Bill Hicks quote but found this instead:

no, i don't think you need to plug in a repeater

some of them have a button on the front that sets them up after a reset.

What did you do?

Not something I did. Something I want to do.
but no, 'linksys' was the first
and now linkcyst has fallen
Weird, I've got a similar problem with my linksys product.

I know about goddamn networking, otherwise I wouldn't be cloning Mac addresses and setting up access points off the top of my head :x
and I cannot get the second router to broadcast for the life of me, but on closer inspection this is because it's a LAN switch
whoops
Oh yeah baby, and then what? :winky:
That's not a story for public eyes
I don't want to commit fraud but I don't even know if I'm committing fraud, grrr
I'm-a go take a shower beebellz
