Nevermind, my router had all the stuff built in ;3, just had to connect to it first, duh!
Okay, my tower sits on the porch right now no space inside. So, it's stuck using the wireless connection. It gets a decent signal. But, my dad is a wanker and won't let me move the router. I have my other devices and I am usually around outside, the router won't reach this far. I connected another router to my computer and I'm attempting to bridge this. It seems to have drastically cut my speeds, or at least made them unstable.
Is there anything I need to do to the router I am turning into a bridge? I'd like to use it as more of an alternate connection and not a default connection or just a simple extender, it's relatively close and I'm sure other computers will end up auto connected too it, if it works as just an extender. I'd like to prevent this. Since it would drastically bottle neck my USB wireless receiver, that my desktop is getting net from.
Also, one plan I had for use of this router, since it's connected directly to my computer I planned to run PLEX on my computer, so I could stream movies to the xbox and such, most everything can easily be solved if I can determine how to "separate" this from being just an extender.
I also want to be sure everything run from plex is fed into this router, not the one I receive internet from, I'm sure this can be tweaked somehow.
