Configure 2nd wireless router as wireless to ethernet bridge?
Im having a hard time finding a wireless adapter that has drivers for Vista. I have several wireless routers that i dont use and I figured if I could configure one of them as a bridge I wouldnt have to buy one
Is there a way to configure a 2nd wireless router as a wireless to ethernet bridge? If so can you tell me how or give me a url I would be greatful

It would all depend on what kind of Wireless Routers you have. Out of the box, most cheap Wireless Routers won’t, but if any of them are running an OpenWRT derivative, then you should be able to re-program one of them to make it a wireless bridge. Having never done this myself, I’m a little short on the specifics, but check and see if any of them are the OpenWRT devices list (see sources for link) and then, if one of them will run OpenWRT, install it and configure it as you like (a link is included with some default instructions, but you might have to do some poking around/experimentation to get something that will work for you).
