Can I tie 2 wireless routers together?

If I am understanding what you are asking, the short answer is no.

Basically 1 router + two repeaters would work. Then, everything goes through 1 cable modem.

2 routers + two repeaters would work, but, your PCs would be on separate networks.

What I would do:

Buy an Ethernet crossover Cable
patch the two boxes together
Set IP on 1 as 192.168.0.1
Set IP on 2 as 192.168.0.2
Set SSID on 1 as JAVES1
set SSID on 2 as JAVES2

set up DHCP on 1 so that the pool is 192.168.0.32-63

set up DHCP on 2 so that the pool is 192.168.0.64-95

This way, machines on one side of the net can still see the other side of the wireless net.

since they are in the same subnet, and chained together with the crossover cable, as long as every machine is in the same workgroup, you should be set.

Unless your house is massive (more than 300' or so to the router), I would be surprised if you needed the repeater anyhow. The way the repeater works is that it just takes 1 SSID and rebroadcasts it. I do not believe it will rebroadcast more than 1 SSID.

Holy Shit...How soon can you be here
