Re: Connecting Blu Ray Player to Internet I know it is doable with the WRT54's - but IIRC you need 3rd party firmware. If you're inclined that way, it's a cheaper alternative.
The wireless bridges/gaming adapters are much easier. If you know what you're doing, even with a 'non-standard' network setup (e.g. I use 192.168.2.x in my private network) you can be up and running in 20 minutes or less. |

I'm already using DD-WRT on my other 54G's so I'll at least consider that though for simplicity, I may just go with the bridge. |

WRT54GL does 3rd party firmware fine - the later WRT54G(S) are much more difficult to use with 3rd party firmware. |

Manchester, MD | I would be getting a WRT54GL if I went this route. In looking at the config options for DD-WRT, there's both Client and Repeater bridge options / roles. I am presuming it's the Client bridge option that I would want to go with? |
