Hi

I hope somebody can help me here.

I used to have cable at home, using a Linksys wireless router.

Recently I have cancelled cable and moved to sky broadband which is on adsl. So they have sent me a new router which is a netgear.

I have this router upstairs, out the way. Unfortunately my Xbox 360 is downstairs with no wireless adapter.

What I would like to achieve is have the linksys downstairs to plug the Xbox into and have the linksys talk to the Netgears network.

So far I have not ben able to achieve this.

On the linksys i have turned off DHP, and given an IP address on the same network as the Netgear. but this is not working.

Anybody have any ideas what I need to do.

Thanks

You have to bridge the Linksys router - which basically makes it a hub.
