Yes, but you don;t want a router, you want an access point.

An access point will allow computers to connect wirelessly to your existing router. You would put the access point on the end of the cable that runs to the house, and set it up from there. You may need a switch as well if you want to split the connection after it gets inside the house.
The key here is to not have two routers, but rather one router (it can serve wireless on it's own, that's fine) and one wirelss access point talking to that router by cable. You can set them to the same SSID and you should be able to walk from one place to the next without losing your connection.

Yes just buy a wireless router and plug the cable into the ethernet port on the router but make sure you use different WEP or WPA codes to the router in the office or your could get conflicts if the PC's in the home pick up a signal from the office

Yeah, it will artwork. i take advantage of Safari to configure my Linksys. Safari isn't a stripped down version of Firefox. Safari is extra progressed in some aspects. It in simple terms would not enable using plugins, like Firefox. Safari with the main present version of WebKit is speedier than Firefox.
