I have a WiFi LAN for the house - 192.168.1.xxx
Then I have a "bridge" device in the family room for the Xbox.
The bridge lives at address 192.168.1.15 for access to config &
manage it. It however just uses the WiFi network like any other
"computer device". The Ethernet jack then connects to the Xbox and
all is well,
as if the Xbox was on the LAN or on the WiFi network.
What kind of router do you use for the bridge? That's what I want to
do with mine. I got a nice diagram
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/images/3/3a/Standard_bridge_large.jpg
but I don't know how to configure the Actiontec that way.
you need a device that can act as a "bridge".... ie a real bridge,
or an access point that can be configured into "bridge mode".
You don't need a router - you need a WiFi device that is, or can become a
WiFi "bridge".
OK. Can this (MI424-WR) do that (wireless bridge)? I know it's
overkill... I'd also be OK with forming a subnet for the Xbox. I won't
need to make inbound connections.
Here's a note on your device - Actiontec MI424WR
http://actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=41
and some info -

Yeah, I saw things like that before. They're instruction on how to set
up the router to do WAN - LAN bridging with no wireless. I think I want
WAN - wireless or LAN - wireless bridging. Can I do that? What
modifications do I need to make?
I have an actual WiFi bridge device - the Linksys WET11 - now the WE T54G -

I may have to break down and get something like that, if I absolutely
cannot make this thing work.
