I'm trying to connect a dir-615 (d2) to a netgear dg834 g router without success. I've tried diffrent config' settings on the d-link but although I'm 'connected'-'no internet access' Is there something I'm missing that needs configuring on either router. The d-link is on virgin media 1.00vg fw which I believe to be crap, it was my intention to use dd-wrt but would prefer to try standard first.

There a reason for using 2 routers?
It's preferred to run only one router. You could bridge the netgear if it has that option and use it as an AP if it has wireless.

I'm sharing a wireless connection with a neighbour accross the road. I cant see an option for 'bridging' on either router and although I can connect direct from my laptop, I cant get internet via the d-link
router even though its full strength? Any ideas?

How about using a wireless extender or relay unit to extend any wireless comming off the 655?

Not sure what a 'wireless extender or relay' is, but I think I'm wasting my time with the dir 615 on its original vm firmware. After reading the dd-wrt thread I think I need the wireless bridge repeater function, could you expand on your suggestion furry?

A wireless extender or relay is a device that can just do that, extend or relay an already setup WiFi broadcast. It can connect to an existing SSID and extend the range of the signal.

I'm going to try the dd-wrt route, but thanks, thats an option if it doesnt work, I might learn something along the way.
