    Basic Wireless Bridge Question

    Thank you for the response. I was reading over the specs and reviews of that buffalo unit. It seems it is only compatible with other buffalo routers. Do you know of something that would be compatible with a netgear router? Or is there a different solution to this problem? Thank you
