Hi,
I have a TP-WR941N router connected to the internet. I recently bought a WRT160n in the hope that I will be able to use it as an access point to extend the wireless range.
Essentially, I have the router and modem in one apartment, but need to be able to access the internet from another. The setup would look something like this:
|||===Apartment 2======================|||========= Apartment 1 ==================|||
||| [Computer] ))))) ((((( [TP-WR941N] ))))) ||| ((((( [WRT160n] ))))) ((((( [Computer] |||
||| [Modem]----------------------+ | ||| |||
||| [Computer]-----------------------+ ||| |||
|||==================================|||==========
Is this possible? Do I need to use custom firmware or will the WRT160n work with the supplied firmware? What would I need to set up?

WRT160N router can not communicate with another router on a wireless connection.
You will need to run cable between both the routers.
I think you can try third party firmware.
