Wirelessly connect 2 routers together PLZ!

Jan 30, 2011 3:06PM PST

Hey guys, I've recently read about bridged connections to provide a boost to networking, I'm also interested in connecting my Samsung LED TV to the Internet.
I happened to find my old Siemens SpeedStream 4200 and was wondering if I can use this to complete this task.
My current functioning router is a Optus Netgear CG814WG.

I would be placing these routers in separate rooms so I hope there is a wizard out there that can save me? ^^

The speedstream can't be used as a wifi bridge.

Showed me "Bridge Mode" which does work.

However you wanted a Wifi Bridge which is something entirely different.
