Help Needed Client Bridge
Posted: Fri May 07, 2010 12:51 am
Alright guys, I dont know anything about routers etc hell I have a tough enough time opening my NAT, and setting my wifi password.
What I'm looking at doing is setting up a Client bridge. I have a couple xbox 1's sitting around and I use one to stream media to a TV. I'm planning on moving this xbox upstairs, and in doing so I'd lose my wired connection, and would need to go wireless.
Ive looked at the original xbox wireless adapter but Ive decided against it. I'm looking for a cheap solution, I'd rather burn dvd's than buy a $100 adapter, or pre-configured network bridge.
What I'm wondering is how would I do it? From the things ive read I will need DD-WRT firmware flashed to my router? Also do the two router's need to be the same, my main router is a dlink WBR-2310, and the router I will be using might be another dlink or a linksys.
Also, I dont want to have a PC/laptop connected to this router, is this possible?
