I have a dlink router that is connected to broadband and wired to one computer. I just got a belkin wireless router that I want to wire in my xbox and tivo into and I want to be able to have the two routers connect to eachother wirelessly. I would think this would be possible to do but I havent figured out how. The dlink is a dl-524 and the belkin is a f5d7230-4

Thanks for any help

If you had said you have a Linksys WRT54G, I would say "Heck yes" and direct you here:

http://www.sveasoft.com

Note that it says:

Talisman/Basic is now available for the Linksys WRT54G and WRT54GS. Belkin, Buffa******, and several more manufacturers will be supported in the coming months.

Which coming month is not mentioned. It has said this for months...

Wireless routers are APs with a router and DHCP capability. APs create a wireless LAN, clients connect to APs. If you could convert one wireless router to a client it could connect to the other AP and you could create a bridge. Sveasoft can turn a WRT54G into a client, but not a belkin or dlink.
