I picked up a CompUSA router that can be used as a wireless bridge and followed these directions to get it working with my PC: router = http://www.compusa.com/products/pro...a=General&cm_ite=generic 120gb&ref=performics

"When you get the router upgrade to firmware 1.47


INSTRUCTIONS TO ENABLE BRIDGE SET FOR XBOX360, TIVO etc

Manually assign your PC an IP address for the time being to the ethernet port

Log in to the router, go to basic settings and change AP to "Station Infrastructure" mode (wireless bridge)

Click "Clone MAC"

Click "Select Site Survey" Once this window pops up, click your main router, then click connect. You may get an error message, but it should work reguardless. Close out that window and your ESSID should be the same as your other router (in my case TGHN).

Go over to LAN and change the IP address to somthing with the same subnet as your main router (if your main router is 192.168.1.1, make this one 192.168.1.2)

Also in LAN, disable the DHCP server."


The internet is working using the wireless network, but I can't connect to the new cheapo $15 router now to change settings (http:192.168.2.1 ip doesn't connect). I also want to re-enable my WEP encryption, but first I need to get into the router's settings again.

Click to expand...

That's pretty cheap.. Can you link the instructions / docs? (I guess not because of the typo, but where did you get the instructions and the firmware?)

I see a 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.2.1 above -- was that a typo or might it be the problem?

An alternative would be to press a "reset settings to factory defaults" button somewhere and start over.
