The signal from my Netgear 6300 b/g/n (IP10.0.0.1) is a bit weak and spotty in adjacent building approx 40' away. So I have hardwired to LAN port on a Belkin router set up in Bridge Mode. When in that room, my Iphone5 connects to the Belkin and if I enter 10.0.0.1 on the safari I get the setup page of the 6300 as it should. When I look on the 6300 connected devices I see the Apple TV in the adjacent building for example as a wirelessly connected unit.

OK, so when I connected a D-link 942L wifi camera to the 6300 it works fine. So when I move it to the adjacent building it only works when it is receiving a signal DIRECTLY from the 6300 but not via the Bridged Belkin signal. Any idea how to resolve this issue?

I don't use Belkin routers, but since it is connected by Ethernet to the main router it should be set as an access point.

The Belkin should have a static address that is not in the Netgear DHCP assignment range but is still in the network range, i.e. 10.0.0.x. The Belkin should use a gateway and DNS address of the main router (10.0.0.1) and should use a different non-overlapping radio channel.
