Hey,
I just purchased 2 DLink Di-514 Wireless routers, thinking that i should be able to connect them together wirelessly.
i spoke to D-Link, and they told me that they are not capable of doing so. I'm sure there's gotta be away around that, but not sure on how to do so.
What i'm trying to do, is the following:
1) connect 1 router to my xbox through ethernet
2) connect 1 router to my cable modem & pc through ethernet
3) get the 2 routers to talk to eachother wirelessly, so i can communicate from my xbox to the other pc.

I know it is possible with other similar wireless routers via hacked Firmware... is this possible with the di-514? Is there any hacked Firmware for this device? Or is there another work around for it?

Any help\suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
 
I know the 514 is super cheap, I just bought one myself to plant at my parents house just so I can use my laptop whenever I visit, but you really need an adapter for the x-box, whether it's ethernet or USB, the 514 just won't cut it.
