First off, I'm not a networking expert. I've read several threads here about wireless, but I'm now quite baffled by terms and such.
Here's the deal - I have 2 Linksys WRT54G units. I have one of them already set up, with 2 PCs connected (wired), works fine. I want the second one to be set up as a client in another part of the house, and it's first connection will be to a PS2 (by ethernet).
I started here with user1234's "HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge" but got completely confused. For starters, do I need to first configure my second unit just as I did my first one to begin with (to get it set up), and then load the firmware update? If I set it up initially with a PC, can I expect the PS2 to connect to it ok (I assume so)? I gotta believe somebody else out there has done this.
If anyone can help simplify this for me without turning it into a 400 message diatribe of WEPs and WPAs I'd greatly appreciate it I'd offer a case of beer for the help, but it'll probably be gone by the time we're done
