Wireless bridge?

[KentState]

I just moved into a house that I'm renting and need a way to wirelessly connect all of the devices in my home theater (Xbox 360, PS3, receiver, and HTPC) to the wireless router which is in a different part of the house. Would a wireless bridge do the job? I would want to plug the bridge into a 4-port switch behind the home theater.

Same situation as you, renting a house and need lotso' network connections. I have an old WRT54g that I flashed with DDWRT, using it as a wireless bridge and it works great. Game latency is better than my old Arlink101 wireless card too, near wired performance.. no lag.

No need additional switch you can use the Bridged Router's ports.

That's a nice g solution. Anyone have an n-solution they like?

Supposedly the new Rosewill routers will do wireless bridging. I've been futzing with two of them for most of the day to no avail, though. Can't seem to find a decent FAQ on doing this, and there's nothing in the docs on it.
