Connecting two routers + xbox 360

[Loader]

Hi there,

I wondered if the following were possible?

I have two routers which I will call Router A and Router B.

Router A is a Belkin - N1 Wireless Modem Router which is connected to the internet.

Router B is a Netgear - RANGEMAX™ SMART MIMO WIRELESS ROUTER – WPN824 and isn't doing anything at the moment.

What I want to do is connect my X-Box 360 to Router B through an ethernet cable and then connect router B to Router A wirelessly (I do not want to spend ~ £50 for a wirless X-Box card).

Is this possible? I have tried turning DHCP off on Router B so that Router A will act as a DHCP server for all things connected to B, but I can't seem to get it to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nope, that router does not offer wireless bridge capability. Here's a Netgear page on the topic: http://kbserver.netgear.com/inquira/...98#__highlight

Thankyou for your reply.

Is there anything else I can do to get my Xbox online (without moving it to the router)?

I thought about the following:

Connect XBox to my laptop which is connected wirelessly to the internet, would this work (If I enable internet sharing)?

Forget ICS, and just bridge the two connections on the laptop, it's a much better way to connect through it to a router. If wired connections to the router work with the XBOX, the bridged connection should work as well. ICS introduces another NAT layer, which will complicate issues.
