Creating a Wireless network?

[Freeze]

I recently recieved the Westell 327W DSL wireless router when I signed up for Verizon DSL. I also have a Linksys BEFW11S4 wireless router.

I want to set the two of these up so that I can basically use Xbox Live without having to run a cable across my house and connect it to the Westell. I want to connect the Xbox to the Linksys and then have the Linksys send and receive data from the Westell.

There's got to be a way for this to work, right? It's driving me nuts because I can't get it to work...

Any tips or suggestions are most welcome. Thanks!

Nope. No can do.

Unfortunately the Linksys can not act as Client Wireless.:thumbsdown:

So what would I need to get in order to accomplish this? My guess, based on my limited understanding of wireless networks, is that I either need to get a wireless bridge (convert the wired signal to wireless for just the Xbox) or an access point configured to act as a client.

That about right or did I miss one?

Thanks!

An AP in "Client" mode is acting as a bridge. You are correct. Cable to the Xbox or buy a bridge or AP that will bridge.
