The DIR-625 Rev C has been the most robust and stable wireless router I have used. Great connection to the Duet Controller anywhere in the house, even 2 floors up. Never requires rebooting. I didn't have much luck with the WRT54GL: started dropping wireless connections after just 6 months. The To

Re: [slim] Question about bridging

The way that it's supposed to work is that if you set up wireless networking with the ethernet cable attached, during the network configuration you're asked whether or not you want to enable bridging. The SB should still see your server. -- JJZolx Jim -

You are on the money, that is what I am trying to achieve. The issue I am having, is that to setup the wireless bridge, you need to go down the wireless config - but my "server" is wired - so to connect, I need to go down the wired config! Help! -- mcgsxr -

Thanks for the recommendations! I took a quick look at the WRT54G. It does indeed look like an older Linksys model similar to mine, except with 2 ext. antennas. Will keep this on my short list. So are there no real advantages/disadvantages to external vs internal antennas? Also, did not real

Re: [slim] Question about bridging

If you're saying there's an existing wireless network but the headless box isn't on it, then yes you should be able to use the bridging to have it join the wireless network (which is I think what you're asking for). The only unusual thing is that the SC server will be on the wired side of the brid
