First off, let me show the exact routers I have (2):

My net setup / request (both routers are WRT54GC's): router-a is in one room with wired internet. router-b is roughly 200 feet away in another room. I want router-b to connect to router-a wirelessly and allow wired clients from router-b (xbox & pc etc.) to access the internet (if possible).
Here is the manual (pdf) for more reference:

What I am trying to accomplish is the same thing in this thread:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...&STARTPAGE=1&FTVAR_FORUMVIEWTMP=Linear
Now, in the thread he explains exactly how to bridge WRT54G(S) routers either together or with one in a network. Problem is, sveasoft has yet to make a hacked firmware for the compact version of that router (which I have).
I thought I was SOL, but I did notice on the advanced networking tab of the router (page 21 of the pdf) that there are options for to add / delete the routing tables for lan & wireless connections. I was hoping that I could configure a static route to allow router-b to connect to router-a somehow. I've messed around with it a little, but not having much routing knowledge I would need some help.
Would it be possible to bridge these routers without one of them being in "client mode" (since it doesn't exist) through routing tables (since I can add them)?
Please help shine some light, anything is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time
