Hi,
I have two wireless routers one Belkin F5D7230-4 and one newly purchased Belkin G+ Mimo.
The Belkin G+ Mimo is connected to a comcast cable modem and gets assigned dynamic IP, this is in one corner of the house.
I would like to use the other Belkin router F5D7230-4 in my study where the signals are weak and I get intermittent connectivity.
For the purpose I am thinking of creating a wireless bridge or use it as an access point?
I am a totally newbie to networking, so appreciate if anybody can help me out with some step-by-step guide for the purpose.
I would be connecting two computers in my study one running windows 2000 server and the other running linux(Debian Etch) (wired/wireless).Thanks,

To create a wireless bridge you need routers that support wireless bridging.
I see nothing in either belkin docs that suggest they support this feature.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Infact both the routers support wireless bridging and access point.
I have verified it by logging into the router admin interface there are options there which say use as access point / use as bridge.
So both the routers support these features.
I have no idea how to configure them as wireless bridge or access point.
Thanks

You download and review the docs for them which will walk you thru step by step.
this should get you started
