Wireless Router as Bridge?

[Snake91839]

I have a WRT54G and would like to use it to receive the wireless that is broadcast from my Netgear and act as a bridge to computers that are connected to the Linksys through ethernet. Is this possible?

Thanks for any help

Yes. Set the wireless settings of that of the Linksys to that of the Netgear. I have a Belkin as a bridge to my Linksys. You need the same SSID, channel, and WEP password and disable DHCP on the Linksys. That's all. It's so simple.

Thanks a ton!

So it works?

lol, well I just ran into an issue. I can disable the DHCP, but then do I run it static? And if I use Static, do I use Local IP?

Why would you run it static? Under 'Internet Connection Type', choose 'Automatic Configuration'. Then change the 'Router IP' to something in the Netgear's DHCP range. Tell me if this works or not.
