Not sure that is what I am trying to do.

I have a Comcast Wireless router, a Asus wireless router, a power line adapter and a Linksys wireless router. The Linksys has not been setup yet.

Right now I have 2 - 2.4 networks and 2 - 5.0 networks in the house. The power line adapter is outside in the garage where the TV is plugged into it.

What I am wanting to do is have ONE 2.4 and 5.0 network running off the Comcast, ASUS and Linksys routers. I was going to plug the Linksys into the power line adapter in the garage and the TV into it. By putting the wireless router in the garage, I would not need to keep the door to the house open to be able to use the laptop out there. When a computer switches networks, my printer some times will not work. The same is true when I try to scan through the wireless network.

I know that this is possible but have no idea how to do it. Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
MurphyLong, I use the Comcast modem for the home phone (yes one of the few that still have a land line). By putting the modem in bridge mode would it effect the phone? The power line adapter works great when I need an internet signal to the TV. Wireless did not work out there. I was thinking about buying a modem from Best Buy or Amazon and replacing the rented one from Comcast. The Linksys is a 2400 series.
