I have 2 belking routers One set up for wireless bridging and the other set as an access point. I cant for the life of me get it to work. Can anyone give me any tips?

This is the biggie that took me three days to figure out:

NO WPA WHATSOEVER. USE WEP!!!!


Other than that you alive sky?

I am not even using any security now. I started out with wep and now no security because I just want it to work!

Set both up as bridged and then tell #2 to allow wifi clients. It worked for my issue.

always worth double checking the obvious stuff... you got both to use a FIXED wireless channel? you got both using same SSID? is WDS configured correctly on both? in some routers, both the client and the 'server' need to be explicitly aware of each other, sometimes you even have to register MAC addresses of each with the other.

i havent set this up with a belkin, so i cant be more specific im afraid. good luck!

Yeah. Everything is set the same. I've spent hours trying to figure it out. I think I am just going to return the one I can and sell the other one and buy a used wireless adapter for my 360. Unless anyone has any better suggestions?

You're going to need to do it anyway so you might as well get a nice cup of coffee and start up Google. I had to do that too. But Google solves all <3!

Yes. I'm gonna return the one I can and sell the other. Anyone want one?
