Routing with bridged wireless network.

[bboy]

My network at home is a pretty normal network, 2 x linksys routers daisy chained, adsl modem on 192.168.1.1 etc etc. thats all wired together.

Now i have added on another network, in my lounge>
I have the xbox(192.168.1.x) and ps3(192.168.1.x) and other devices plugged into ANOTHER linksys running (DDWRT). the ip of this linksys is 192.168.1.4.
I have set the routers wireless mode to "client bridged" and set it to connect to the wireless side of the other network, xbox/ps3 all have static addresses and gateways set to 192.168.1.1.

Now this all works fine, but i'm wondering if this is correctly setup?

Occasionally the xbox will disconnect from live etc etc and the only reason i can think it does that is because of the wireless bridge in between and the routing tables not knowing which "network" to talk to.

This certainly doesn't sound like a 'normal network' but anyway

What do you mean by '2 x linksys routers daisy chained'? Why do you need three routers? Which one is the default gateway?

 

[bboy]

the 2 linksys routers are daisy chained cause they only have 4 lan ports each and i have 6 devices to plug into them

You do know that a 8-port switch is as cheap as chips?

yeah yeah, but its the wireless bridge thats the issue here
