So, I apparently only do things the hard way.

What I'm doing is setting up a 2nd router next to my TV to run internet to it (for Netflix streaming etc.) via my Samsung blu-ray player model 5500 or so. I've set up a wireless bridge, and was able to connect my laptop to the internet via the signal received by my 2nd router. When I plug the router in to the blu-ray player - I get an error message saying that the http port is blocked. I searched the web for a while last night, but didn't find any answers that seemed to help. Any ideas TWW?

lolwut?

have you tried connecting the bluray player directly to your main router (not the bridged one) and seen any errors?

What gave the error the router or the player?

Do us all a favor, as you sound like you have this really backwards, draw up a diagram please. Networking is so much easier with it. Like do your whole house out, as we can probably make this easier.

First thing with that is why are you using a second router? Get a switch.

^^ No, I'll give that a go tonight and see if it works. Let's say it does, what then?

Here is a diagram of what I'm doing. Want to set it up like this side the primary is upstairs and the secondary is downstairs.

Also, the blu ray is giving the error, and I'm using add-wrt firmware on the second router. Both routers are linksys wrt54g routers.

So are both routers in the diagram operating as an endpoint/bridge to another AP?

[Edited on December 7, 2010 at 12:27 PM. Reason : on second thought, is just the secondary one being run in bridge mode?]

Primary is hooked to the cable modem and assigns IPs, the secondary only receives the signal from the primary.
