Wireless Bridge

[Shady]

After being given a Netgear WNR2000v2 router, i decided to see if i could use it as a wireless bridge to connect my dm500 and my xbox upstairs to my router downstairs.

after updating fw to the recommended DD-WRT, i set about trying to accomplish this.. but.. for some reason i cant do it.

this is how i want to set up, BT homehub 3 downstairs connected to web. dreambox and xbox upstairs connected to wnr2000 router, wnr2000 router connected via wifi to bt homehub..
has anybody any experience of this and can give me a joey deacon, step by step, hand holding, spoon feeding tutorial on how to get the ~~~~er working?
thanx in advance

Well this looked like a good question, Shady, as i wanted to know how to set up an old netgear to make a bridge from where my sat receiver lives in the lounge to where my router lives in the study.
Did you get that easy to follow tutorial or did you just figure it out for yourself?
It would be useful though to know how you did it.

PS I can't understand why there are no freesat receivers on the market with wifi connectivity. They're all ethernet (except azboxs etc which arn't freesat) which means having to use a mains/ethernet device.

i had to use custom f/w from dd-wrt on my router to get it to work.. once that was on, it was plain sailing
