I've been playing around with this for about 12 hours now.
I've got one wireless router (either the netgear or the belkin) and I'm trying to get that router to be downstairs just for xbox live, and I need it to connect to my wireless router in my room, which is connected to my cable modem. My brother is 80 feet away in his room with a wireless network card, and he connects fine, and I'm hardwired into the wireless router in my room.
I have tried a lot of things trying to get the 2 wireless routers to communicate with eachother, but neither router will see eachother. I've tried all combinations with the D-Link DI 524, the Belkin and the Netgear - each acting as the main router, and they just will not communicate with eachother.
The goal is to have one of the wireless routers downstairs for the Xbox live, connecting wirelessly to my router in my room, using that as the gateway to the internet. I've tried turning off DHCP in the router that will go downstairs, so that it sort of acts like a bridge, or an access point, but no luck so far - about 12 hours into this.
Hardwired is not an option, because it would defeat the whole wireless schema that I want to be running...and that would render the wireless routers useless, except for the top level router.
