Just had DSL hooked up in our new house. SBC provided us a 2Wire 1701HB modem with wireless capabilities. One pc is wired direct to the modem and my pc which is about 65 feet away connects via a Linksys wireless g adapter. Connection isnt that strong as there are several walls between my adapter and the 2Wire DSL modem.
Here is my issue. I want to use my Netgear WGT624 wireless router as a repeater to make my connection stronger. I have never done this and so far all attempts have failed. My Netgear router doesnt seem to pick up the signal from my 2Wire modem. I read in some other forum where someone said to put the 2Wire into "Bridged Mode" but that is chinese to me. I know i need to go into the modem and router interface (192.168.1.1..etc) and re-configure some things but not sure what to change.
Has anyone done this sucessfully or have any thoughts?
