Set Linksys WRT54G V6 as a wireless bridge
Hello experts,
Here is my issue, I have a completely functioning wireless network consisting of a Belkin N1 Vision router (standard firmware), with two systems wired to it, and about five that access it via wireless. I have some systems/devices on the far end of my house that do not get very good signal strength. I bought a Linksys WRT54G V6 router (dd-wrt v24 sp2) to use as a wireless bridge. However up to this point I have been unsuccessful. I have found some forums and how-to's online but none that do what I am attempting.
I need for all of the systems on both ends of the bridge to see each other as I do a lot of file transfers and shared resources. I also have a NAS attached directly to my main router that I need the other systems to access.
I am running an internal network of 192.168.5.x/192.
I have attached graphical representation of what I am looking for as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am versed with flashing routers, and network configuration.
Thanks in advance.

I finally got this to work, thanks jrd326.
I went through the set up three times, to no avail. Then set both router up to have no security what so ever to make sure I could get it to work without the issue of security, and it worked.
After that i just had to play with the security settings to make sure that I used one that both routers were happy with.
Thanks for that help.
