router1 in my office connected to a few ip based pieces of equipment. router2 is in the living room hooked up to my game consoles and htpc. I would like to somehow have router1 & router2 wirelessly connect to each other and allow a bridge between them. I would also like them to allow wireless devices to connect to either router and only grab a dhcp address from router1. I am also curious to know if it is possible to turn the WAN port into an extra LAN port for me to plug another device into.
I have tried using WDS, Client, Client (bridge) and no success at all. I feel like I am missing something simple but have been at this about 4 hours now. I am unfortunately limited by my user level knowledge of linux. Any help would be appreciated.
