Question about wireless bridge?
Question by : Question about wireless bridge?
I need to bridge my non-wireless Slingbox to my wireless network with WPA-Security. My current Wireless router is Wireless-G so I was wondering if the bridge would work because it's Wireless-N http://www.ecost.com/detail.aspx?edp=42480559&source=EWBBASE&cm_mmc=CSE-_-google-_-ewbbase-_-Networking&CAWELAID=366930854. Thanks! And does it have to be the same Wireless device on each end or no, Like to of the wireless things linked above? Thanks

Answer by Hugh Parker
It doesn't have to be the same wireless device on each end, but each device on a wireless network has to be using the same protocol. Check that the bridge you're going to buy supports wireless-g - if it does, you should be fine.

How does one change from bridge mode to router mode within my router?
Question by RH: How does one change from bridge mode to router mode within my router?
I am trying to allow my slingbox to work in my router and the default gateway is set to public and needs to be set to private. The bridge mode I am told is not assigning a IP address, which is what I need for my slingbox to work.

Answer by chris h
1st give your slingbox a fixed ip on your inside network (192.168.1.xxx)
2) make sure the sling box knows the DNS servers assigned by your isp.
3) foward ports as appropriate for sling box

Slinglink Turbo 1PORT Enet Connection Bridge (SL 150-100)
The SlingMedia Slinglink is economical way to extend the range of your router. Unfortunately, SlingMedia devices (Such as Sling Media SlingCatcher SC100-100 Universal Media Player for TV or Sling Media Slingbox SOLO (SB260-100) ) must be plugged directly into an internet source. The SlingLink allow you to use your home's electrical wiring as a means to extend your router. A couple of things 1 - You must plug the SlingLink directly into your wall socket. It will not work with a power strip or surge protector. 2 - Reaches speeds in excess of 1MPS 3 - Set-up is very, very easy 4- Only 1 port - so you can only plug one device into the unit. 5- Homes with older electrical wiring may have some issues Final Verdict I use the the SlingLink for use with my Sling Media SlingCatcher SC100-100 Universal Media Player for TV and I must say that it works perfectly. I have not come across a single issue (and if I do I will update this review). 5 Stars
