I have a wired network but I want to use a couple wired media players in a place where I can't run a Ethernet cable so I want to use a wireless router and wireless bridge to connect them to my network. I was using two D-Link DIR-601 routers with one of them flashed with DD-WRT to act as a bridge. It worked fine until I tried to use uPNP. It seems the DLNA server program I use needs the MAC address of the media player passed to it and the DD-WRT equipped router set up as a client bridge won't do that.
Instead the DD-WRT equipped router in client bridge mode provides it's own MAC address. So I guess I need a real bridge that passes through the MAC address(es) of whatever is connected to it. Any recommendation for a bridge that will do that and hold up to hours of streaming media without dropping the connection and/or stuttering?
