jamalkhoeis Posted September 20, 2010 CID Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have 2 WRT 120n Linksys routers and was wondering if i could bridge the connection between the 2. I did a little research and i found out the only way to do this would be to set up a routing table which i have never done. If any one has any advice or ?'s please let me know because i am tired of having an Ethernet cord running across my house. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted September 20, 2010 CID Share Posted September 20, 2010 As you may well know , repeat or bridge modes are not functioning on your current firmware. And the routers are not supported on dd-wrt , openwrt , or tomato firmwares due to there high failure rate , which I think is 1:5 , which is out of every 5 , one functions as it should. With no experience with the wrt 120 I would not know where to start myself, hope someone else has a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted September 21, 2010 CID Share Posted September 21, 2010 Do you have a WRT54G or another DD-WRT compatible router laying around? I used 1 to build a bridge a couple years ago and has worked flawlessly ever since. I just modified the one WRT54G with DD-WRT firmware. And with that I can bridge to any WI-FI router across the house (and to my upstairs). Have both a Desktop and an X box 360 connected downstairs and work good simultaneously. Actually, the reason I originally did it is that I did not want to spend the ridiculous $90 to Microsoft for a cheap USB WI-FI add on to the X Box and happened to have an extra WRT54G. There are easy to find and follow directions on the web. Below is a screen shot from the modified router - and upstairs I just have a standard Linksys router with the standard Linksys firmware.
