I have a linksys wireless router (WRT54G) on second floor of my home, with a coonection to internet througha cable modem, and two computer wired to the router, and desktop with a wireless card.
On the first floor of my home, I have a linksys Network Storage link NSLU2 (with a USB hard drive connected), and a DLINk DSM-320 Media Player. I wanted to connect them, so that I can save media files on NSLU2 hard drive, and play them on TV using DSM-320. But both of them needs connection to second floor router. DSM-320 to go to internet, and
NSLU2 to my computer so I can transfer media files from upstair computer.
To do this, I bought Belkin wireless to ethernet bridge (FD7330), and LINKSYS 5 port ethernet switch (EZXS55W). I connected NSLU2 , media player DSM-320 & Wireless Bridge FD7330 to the switch EZXS55W. I thought that the bridge will connect NSLU2 & DSM320 to the second floor
router. It does not work properly. I did configure the NSLU2, Bridge, and & DSM with the 192.168.1.xxx etc, for the upstair router. I am able
to transfer files from the upstair computer to NSLU2. But media player DSM-320 & NSLU2 don't work well when both are turned on. When I player media from DSM320, the video is choppy and the media server running on my upstair computer frequrntly becomes invisible to DSM320.
Please help me to set up the downstir network. Should I buy another wireless router, or a bridge or an access point? A call to LINKSYS support was not helpful.
Thanks,
Bharat
