HI,
I have a dynamode br 6004 w g1 router and a linksys AP router and i want to set up bridging between them as Dynamode is WDS capable.
How can i acheive that ?
Cable Modem ---- Which Router ? -----wireless link ---- Which Router (dynamode or linksys)---Laptop

any sugestion would be welcome as i have tried setting it up my first router and all devices wired and wireless work properly. its just the second router which is not working. i have swapped other way round and same thing first router works and the second doesnt....
first router means the one which is connected to modem.

any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have a read here, might prove usefull to you.

bridging connections - Networking Hardware Configuration
Linking Routers - DD-WRT Wiki

Can i suggest though,

Why not have the 2nd router set as just an access point (disabling DHCP)

My router is setup upstairs, while i have a D-Link Airplus 2000+ as access point down stairs, this serves me good as i have a few poor areas for reception with just the router.

Best of luck

Rich
