mifi 2200 network bridge

[FalconSS]

Hey guys,
I have a mifi 2200 i use to connect to the internet. The problem is that it doesn't reach through my whole house. I have wireless printers in other rooms as well as consoles and laptops. I have the regular linksys wireless g router that was so popular. Don't have the model# here though.

Anyway, is there a way to share the internet across to another network?

If your Linksys router can run DD-WRT, I'd install that and have it act as a wireless client and rebroadcast the wireless.

What's ddwrt

It's alternative firmware for certain routers. This firmware generally gives you more options than the stock firmware.

ok, so I have it flashed with the new firmware and can access it... but I still don't have them sharing a connection. any Idea how I go about doing that?

by the way the model number is WRT54GS v7.2 it is now flashed with v.24 micro-generic

while this works great as a shared internet connection ( Which is what my original post asked for) will this also let me share files between systems? Such as stream video to my PS3?

I don't know if the Mifi has any weird tricks up it's sleeve, but it should work just like any other network. So, yes.
