   trying to bridge/link two routers wirele

   Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can approach     
   this requirement:   
      
   I want to feed the available internet from room B to room A,     
   wirelessly.   
      
   Currently, room A is DSL/router connected to an unmanaged     
   switch that serves my wired devices fine. Wireless is also     
   sufficient. But.. the DSL is scheduled to be decomissioned.   
      
   Meanwhile, I have fibre internet installed in room B.  There     
   really wasn't a proper way to wire fibre to room A. So, I am     
   left with a wireless solution to send the internet to room A.   
      
   The fibre is terminated with a Deco x50, provided by the ISP.   
      
   Sure.. I can probably expense for another Deco x50, but that     
   would be added cost of atleast $150 that I hoped I could avoid     
   if I could set up a wireless bridge with existing routers.   
      
   The Deco x50 is pretty much dumbed down and can't really be     
   configured beyond setting its own primary IP address and the     
   start-range for DHCP.   
      
   I have a sr516ac that I hoped I could connect next to the Deco     
   x50 in room B and send the internet via wireless bridge method     
   to room A.   
      
   How should the sr516ac be properly connected? Should it use its     
   WAN port to the Deco x50, or the LAN port?  And what should the     
   IP address be set up as?   
      
   The Deco x50 is currently 192.168.68.1 ..and begins serving     
   clients at 192.168.68.51 and up.   
      
   Room A is currently served with a DSL modem, an sr360n,     
   configured as 192.168.1.1.  I have several devices that have     
   static IP addresses as 192.168.1.2, .8 .11 and .44   
      
   The sr360n can "see" the sr516ac during the wireless bridge     
   rescan.  It seems that I all I would have to do is allow the     
   sr360n to associate as a bridge to the sr516ac.  But I am still     
   not sure with the IP addresses need to be and which physical     
   ports I need to connect the sr516ac to the Deco.   
      
   Can anyone help?
