Wireless bridge

[GTFO. Luckyg]

I'm trying to setup a wireless bridge to my system but don't have a clue where to start. My modem/router is a virgin media super hub and the router I will be connecting to my PC is a Belkin F5D8233.

Sooooooooo, basically, where do i start?

Now that we have the silly remarks out of the way, you need to do the following general steps:

1) Plug the router in to a machine that's disconnected from any other network. This will prevent IP address conflicts.
2) In the router config page, you need to disable the built-in DHCP server and assign it a static IP address on the same subnet as the primary router. For the Superhub the default subnet is 192.168.1.0, so give the Belkin an IP address with a high number like 192.168.1.254 (to avoid conflicts).
3) Disable anything other feature that has something to do with internet connectivity. In particular, disable the uPNP functionality since apps will otherwise try to map a port on it.
4) (Optionally) Configure the wireless settings to exactly match the Superhub. Same wireless tech (g+n or n-only), same encryption scheme (I use WPA2+AES only in mine), same SSID. Set the broadcast channels on both routers so they're far apart from each other (channels 1, 6 and 11 are guaranteed not to overlap). If your equipment supports Wireless N 5Ghz, you could also set the Superhub to 5Ghz and the Belkin to 2.4Ghz, giving you the best combination of throughput and range. If you follow all these steps, your laptop can then roam seamlessly between both APs without having to manually switch between them.
5) Last but not least, reboot the Belkin and connect an ethernet cable from the Superhub into one of its LAN ports (and not the internet port!)
