What are the distances between red and blue?

Like 50 feet

Again why are you using two routers.. Btw the pic is very good you're very creative, we need more users using the mspaint to share their network idea plans. I would use a switch instead or make the second router a bridge. What features or options you have for the second router?

Is this a budget issue? Why not put them all on one router... Cables will work up to 100 feet... and of course the obvious choice is wireless...

Otherwise, I think Tipstir has the right ideas...
