Is it possible to bridge two 825 units? I'm looking to connect two together on my DirecTv HD-DVRs but bridging these, something I would expect to be a standard mode, is not forthcoming to me.
I would appreciate any assistance, even if it's bad news.
I'm running hardware version B1, firmware version 2.02NA on both. I hope I don't have to take one back and buy something else.

Found the answer. The D-Link software is not capable of it. I needed to install DD-WRT, which was actually very simple for this router. I've been using DD-WRT for years on my Linksys WRT54 series routers, didn't even know there was firmware for the DIR-825 HW:B1
If you're looking for some powerful software, look at DD-WRT. If D-Link comes out with a working client bridge then I will return to that firmware.
I'm using this for my DirecTv HD-DVR's for media sharing. Works like a champ on HD programming, no drops at all!
