Hi,
i want to do the following connections through my house:
Untitled_1.png

One router is connected to my ISP and the other is wirelessly connected to the main one.The second router must output a wireless connection and the first should atleast output an ethernet connection but a wireless connection would be nice too.my second router will be too far away to connect with a cable so this is why i want a wireless bridge.The second router supports DD-WRT.Also multiple devices will be connected not just pc's

If your second router is "too far away to connect with a cable" then it is likely that it will have a poor wireless connection to the main router. While you can create such a bridge using dd-wrt like THIS, you will get a much better result if you make router 2 an AP and attach it with a pair of high quality powerline adapters. I would recommend the Zyxel PLA5205kit, as it maintains 100Mbps connection in all the locations that I have tried for it, about 3x faster than the prior generation devices. HERE is some information on it.

Hi,
its not actually that far.It's actually 11 steps walking on a hallway.But i can't get the wires into a conventional place to put them.Do you have a guide for the wireless bridge?
--EDIT--
No need for a guide.I haven't seen your link above.
