The devices used and steps taken to obtain wireless bridge

This is a list of devices I used:

Netgear N150 Wireless Router WNR1000v3



Belkin 54g F5D7230

Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router



For the Belkin and Linksys to work with a wireless bridge, I disabled the QoS option on the Belkin router.  It was on for the netgear access point, but for the Linksys router, I turned if off for it to work correctly.  The only way to impose QOS is to have the belkin doing routing. If it is bridged by some means, it cannot impose QOS.  In this case, the Linksys is the router and the Belkin is the wireless bridge.


Set the Alternative Configuration for the wired TCP/IP to match with the repeater.  These are the steps to get the wireless bridge working with WEP encryption for a Belkin and Netgear:

1) Set netgear to be the access point
2) Assign netgear a wireless WEP password on the router
3) Make sure the netgear router knows the MAC address of the belkin repeater
4) Set belkin to be the wireless bridge by listing netgear MAC address
5) Set the belkin wireless WEP security to match with netgear wireless WEP security
6) Wait for the netgear signal to reach the belkin repeater for the wireless bridge to work
7) The DHCP server should be on the network access point

I tested the connection speed by downloading firefox, flash player, and going to youtube to play worship songs.
