Hi, I have read through many threads similar to mine but no luck.

Basically I need to connect 2 sites via wireless,

I have 2 routers (Zyxel 660), the ADSL connected router I have set to Routing mode and in its WDS options I have entered the MAC address of the router (same model) that is acting as the bridge.

In the 2nd router, I have set this to bridge mode and have changed its IP to avoid any conflict.

Now when I connect the laptop to the 2nd router I get no internet connectivity. Any Ideas guys?

I cannot go through the walls on the plan (they are not mine), the wireless reaches outside as it is direct line of sight, so really I just want the 2nd router to boost the signal of the first.

Am I going about this the right way (thought this would be easy, I was wrong, there are so many different approaches to this).

Cheers
