SUCCESS using WRT54g as wireless bridge - Very easy

[dotrippin]

I thought I'd report this success using 2 WRT54g's. My main one (connected to DSL modem) is v5(!) and the bridge is v4. The v5 router is stock firmware and the v4 is using Tofu. Here are the instructions:

I am using WPA (WPA2 doesn't work for me with this bridge setup, maybe someone can enlighten me as to why) SSID is hidden on both routers.

Cheers

Or use dd-wrt, great firmware for linksys

It is also quite easy. they are great boxes, thanks for telling us of a different way.

Have you guys tried powerline networking?

I have been using the Netgear XE102 for quite some time and am very happy with it. You can get 2 refubs for less than a linksys router. Best of all you won't get the latency + drops involved with wireless networking.
