Netgear bridge connection

Hi guys im having a little difficulty with my new setup I just bought a netgear dgn2000 adsl modem router which is great but I also thought it would be handy to have an access point/bridge in my room for my lappy and Xbox so I got a wnhde111 ,
But I now have a really bad feeling there not compatible without connecting a second bridge to my router,
I just thought that as you only need one when you have a WNDR3300 router that it should be the same for my modem router as its just the same but with a medem built in........is'nt it ???

Can anyone shed some light please as I cant connect them.

You want the WNHDE111 to connect to the router wirelessly so you can use a cable to connect devices to it?

In a nut shell.

It's got nothing to do with the router then - you just need WNHDE111 to play wireless client.

just been told there not compatible the brigde is 5Ghz and and my router is only 2.4Ghz

The WNDR3300 is dual band - it does 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

Er, yeah...I was looking at this bit:

I just thought that as you only need one when you have a WNDR3300 router that it should be the same for my modem router as its just the same but with a medem built in........is'nt it ???

So they're more different than just adding a modem.

You would think there top of the line adsl router would have all the trimmings including dual band , oh well that will teach me

Ive spotted another WNHDE111 on ebay for 25 quid plus 12 quid P&P so il just have to go overkill for my network
