Wireless router acting as a Bridge

[kfc469]

I have two wireless routers. The first one(Linksys WRT54G) is connected to my cable modem. I have a Xbox 360 in another room of the house and I want to use the second router (The 802.11b version of the WRT54G) as a wireless bridge to hook the 360 up to the internet. Is there any way to do this?

I am not one hundred percent but it think you would need to purchase a bridge in order to connect the two access points to. i don't think they can connect directly. someone please set me straight and explain if i am wrong.

Well there should be features that enables the second router for bridging a point to point connection to the first router. But it's usually different for every router. Try googling wrt54g bridging and there's a ton of information on it.
