I have a wired network with a wired Linksys BEFSR41 router which handles PPPOE for my DSL account and acts as a DHCP server. I want to add a wireless bridge to this setup so I that can use a older media player that only supports wired Ethernet. I also have two D-Link DIR-601 rev A1 wireless routers to serve as bridges.

I flashed one of the DIR-601s with DD-WRT version "DIR-601 A1 Firmware - Webflash image for first installation dir601a1-factory-to-ddwrt-firmware.bin 2013-04-22". I then used the instructions here "http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridge" to setup the DD-WRT flashed DIR-601 as a client bridge. The DD-WRT flashed DIR-601 is the one into which I will plug the media player. The other DIR-601 will be connected by Ethernet cable to the wired network uses the factory firmware which the Client Bridged Wiki seems to indicate is Ok. Anyone know how to set this up?
 
What happens when you try to set up the wireless bridge via those instructions?
 
I can't ping the router that's connected wirelessly to the rest of my network. It just times out.. My Linksys BEFSR41's IP is 192.168.1.1. The DIR-601 that has the stock firmware and has a wired connection to the Linksys has a IP of 192.168.1.250 and the DD-WRT equipped DIR-601 that's supposed to be connected wirelessly to the stock DIR-601 has an IP of 192.168.1.253.
