Hi all,
I bought a Sony KDL-32403 tv for the bedroom.I ordered an OpenMedia WIFI bridge so I could access the tinterweb functions but the range of the device is not good enough to connect to my wireless router( Linksys WRT-160N) in the hallway.I also have an old Belkin wireless router which I have spent hours on trying to convert it to a bridging device without success.My request is for anyone who can recommend another higher powered bridge or an idiot's guide to convert the Belkin.I'm now using the OpenMedia for my sony Blu-Ray in the front room so at least my money hasn't been entirely wasted.I should add that running an ethernet cable is not an option for me due to the location of the TV.
Many thanks,
Craig,Nottingham.

Use some powerline adapters. They are great. You just plug one into a power socket near your tv and plug the ethernet cable from tv to the powerline adapter. Then do the same near your router. It will essentially use your home's power cables as ethernet cables.
