Hi SNB,
I want to use my old Linksys WRT54G as a wireless client bridge to connect two gaming consoles in another room via a wired connection. The bridge would connect with my primary router, a TP-Link Archer C8. After some research I read that to accomplish this I would need to flash DD-WRT onto the Linksys router, but when I looked at the instructions and read the risks about potentially bricking my rotuer I was disinclined to use that route. Are there any alternatives that can enable me to use my old router as a bridge without having to flash it with custom firmware? I tried using powerline adapters and they did not work for my apartment (possibly due to incompatible wiring or too much noise in the circuitry). Any help would be much appreciated!
