Expand network range with Wireless Access Point Router?

Hi..
I am new to this wireless thingy.. but I was shopping at staples the other day.. and brought myself 3 Linksys Router and 1 Dlink Rounter, 2 PC card for my laptop, and 1 USB adaptor for my other desktop..

I heard from somewhere that If get 4 rounters/access point, I can put it on four corner of my house.. and will have the best signal? these are the devices I got:

1. 1 Linksys 802.11G Access Point + Router (I use this to connect to the internet)
2. 2 Linksys 802.11B Wireless-B Broadband Router)
3. 1 Dlink 802.11B Wireless-B Rounter.

2 PC cards for my laptop
and 1 USB adaptor for the desktop..

How can I use these to expand my network??

Take those 3 additional routers back. You can only use one router per network. If you want to extend wireless range, you need repeaters.

PS, when you "hear something from somewhere" double check at the MECH!
