I want to put add another wireless router(wrK54g) between me (wireless laptop) and my wrT54g which connects wired to my wireless service provider's router.

I know, its confusing ;)

I wanna disable my laptop's wireless and just run wired to this new wi-router that I'm adding.

How can I get my wireless router(wrK54g) to bridge (or repeat) to this other wireless router (wrT54g) ???

glad I explained it right
I would MUCH rather draw a picture for you all but this forum doesnt provide for image uploads :(

Thanks alot

just realized this is a REAL pain in the butt
because the router I want to connect my wrK54g to has a dynamically assigned IP
I wish I could just get routers to connect via MAC or SSID addresses :(

If you just want the router to work as wireless client, you may need to move to the after market firmware dd-wrt) . Or if you want to connect 2 networks Multipoint Bridge or Single bridge.

for now, allll I want is to connect 2 wireless linksys routers together
a wrK54g and a wrT54g

Is it even possible? Being that the wrT54g has a dynamically assigned ip?

I think I know what you're saying

I would take any of those options (client, multiport bridge, single port bridge)
If I flash my wrT54g with the dd-wrt it wont hurt it? sorry, just had bad luck with flashing haha
