[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 812043, member: 175144"] I can understand that, but since the official router would be the one accepting signals from the BT socket, there's no chance of a bridged unit screwing up any firmware update. Does the Sk y broadband routers not allow WEP encryption maybe, as (for wireless bridging anyway) WPA is not available. The Yahoo answer for bridging wired stuff is as such, which sounds easy enough [I]Here is what I would do You only want one active router. So let's make the router near the cable box the active router. Connect to that router using a cable and a computer. Access the router setup pages. (see your manual) The address should be 192,168.1.1 and the user name and password admin/admin Once in the router, get the following information and write it down Router LAN Address - in this example 192.168.1.1 Router DHCP Pool - In this example 192.168.100-150 Exit the router Now on the second router connect your computer to the router. Do not connect the router to the main router Access the setup pages as before In the WAN setup - select a fixed IP address for the router. Use an address outside the DHCP pool. Here we will use 192.168.1.50 In LAN setup - Turn DHCP off In the wireless setup - select a different SSID name from the main router Select a different WPA password Write them down Save your settings restart the router and connect it to the main router. Plug the cable between the two routers into the WAN Port You should now be able to use the second router as a wireless access point, and/or switch with the network being controlled by the primary router Have Fun[/I] _http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080817121536AATrWjf [/QUOTE]
