Hi i am trying to setup a seamless home wifi network to connect wirless devices (Mac, XP, Android, Iphone et al) and HP MF 2320 ethernet/usb printer all on wifi.

current setup is ISP -> Zyxel VDSL modem ---cat5 -> Ruckus zoneflex AP ----> wireless devices.
The wifi coverage of Zyxel does not provide wifi speed and range hence have connected Ruckus AP to provide wireless access. Zyxel acts as DHCP server.

I would like to

1. connect the Ethernet printer in the far room ( cannot connect cat 5 cable). by using a router in front and bridging it to the ruckus AP.
2. Use externel WD HDD to share media on the home network

Ruckus AP does not support bridge mode and Zyxel is unable to bridge, even though it supports WDS.

Kindly provide recommendations of how to setup this network. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks
