I have a Netgear WNR2000 router that's connected to my modem. It does NOT have WDS support. I have a Belkin F5D7234-4 that has WDS support and was wanting to create a bridge so I can wire my Xbox 360 to the belkin router which would then connect wirelessly to the Netgear router and thus the internet. Being new to bridging, here's the question that will probably end my efforts: Do both routers need to have WDS support? Why can't the Netgear router just see the belkin router as just another wireless device?
