Networking two wireless routers

khublaikhan · 21 Apr 2011 at 11:15

Hi All,

Struggling to do this.

I have two Belkin routers. The new Primary router is used for my primary desktop PC and is configured as follows:

IP Address: 192.168.2.1
DHCP enabled: = yes
Scope: 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.100
Security: WPA2 TKIP/AES
Channel: 8

The secondary older router is used for my laptop and PS3 and has an option to allow a wireless bridge - I am wondering how I would configure this to allow the bridge??

Thanks

I too am interested in this

I have sky belkin router (adsl connected) and have by old Cable&wireless one which has bridging facility but not sure how to do it.

if you're thinking of using it to extend wireless range it probably won't do it. I have a feeling by "bridging" it probably means it'll form a point to point wireless link to behave like an uplink cable between the two integrated switches. There are few consumer routers out there that'll support proper meshing, especially older ones.

In the second one disable the DHCP service, assuming you are connecting the two via Ethernet. You can leave all other ip settings at default (dynamic)
