Bridging two Wireless routers...

Is there anyway to bridge two wireless routers without the Router actually having bridge mode as a selection? I could of swore I read somewhere you could do it.

Depends on what type of router they are. What brand/model are they?

Wired = Yes. Just run a wire from one routers WAN port (making sure to set it up to be in Dynamic mode, and set the routers IP 1 digit off of the one it's getting connecting to) to the other routers ethernet port.

Wireless = Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It all depends on the router itself. In my case the SMC router has what's known as a "repeater" function. This enables it to talk between different wireless routers wirelessly. It will essentially repeat any wireless calls it receives to the other wireless router.

For that Linksys WRT54GC router check out their site HERE. It has instructions on how to set it up as a repeater. I can't recall exactly, but I believe that you will have to setup that router as the repeater, and have the W11 be your main one.

Lol of course I know how to network.

I would use the wire but the whole pooint of the wireless is not to use the Wire. I most likely will have to get a WAP router as well whichi s annoying, I thought I could set the WRT as a repeater but knowing The BEFW11s4 since it loses wireless signal there is noi point., unless there is a way for the Ps2 to hook up with a Wireless card.

Agreed. Any of the 3 "Game Adapters" listed on THIS page work perfectly. Although, they aren't cheap. Infact, they are pretty much the same price, or more than a new wireless router.
