Why do you live in a shed? And why are there lots of wriggling snakes in between the house and your shed and the router and laptop?

lol thats meant to be the wireless signals.
I dont know if you live with your missus but trust me the shed is the best place sometimes, its not really a shed, its outbuildings but couldnt be bothered writting that on paint.
Yes, all good, make sure that they can do wireless bridging, and dont forget that youll get half the speed.
Just put the cat cable in a tidy way :)

The Main router is a Billion and the other Router is a Belkin.
Ive been trying all sorts of settings and cant get it to work.
any ideas?
Cant help you on the wireless front, but why not do as bear says and route the cable neatly?
or get a wireless card ? theyre only ~£10 ?

ive got a not so cheap belkin wireless card in it, but it only gets a very poor signal and drops very often. Thought this would be a way around it but it doesnt look like the belkin router supports wireless bridging.
Tell her to quit her whining and that its your house as well as hers! :) Sorted!
Just tidy the CAT5, I hate wireless, I dont trust it at all!

You DONT need bridging at all, for that setup you just need a wireless accesspoint or router that will support client mode, many routers/access points support this and manufacturer shouldnt matter.. oh and youll get full 802.11b/g speed
looks like the tidy cat5 is going to have to happen, i cant figure it out.

Its for Samuel L Jacksons new film ;)
Just buy an access point and maybe mount the antenna outside with a suitable pigtail
If you wanted to be really fancy you could set up a mesh network with a portal and an AP
The problem with most wireless routers is that theyre not routers.
Belkin IS cheap, no matter how much you pay for it.

How does your cable run m8, take pics? I was a king of hiding cable round our house did not drill one whole, used existing holes etc and you never saw any cables bar when a clip broke under a window
wireless is my last resort if I cant find a way for the cable, it is faster and more reliable IMHO :) so far I have not used my wireless card intended for my new IpCop router setup ( a faster one even if the PII I am running is fast enough but as I got a wireless and two gigabit NICs I might as well use a faster machine).
