Ok, here is a good one for you all...
I have just bought a samsung home theater that can connect to the internet if I use the dedicated wireless dongle (and at £50 erm NO!) or connect via ethernet (and I am too far from my router and want to do this CHEAPly or I'll not bother). I do however have an old Speedtouch ST576 Wireless Router and I was wondering if it is possible to use it as a wireless bridge so I can connect into my existing wireless network.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks for the response - the lan cable is probably the best way to go - just means lifting the floor... damn!

To be honest, I had a look at costing some hardware up - my spare router will work if I reduce my encryption to WEP (erm, no thanks) and hardware that will handle WPA costs around the same as the dedicated Samsung Dongle... I may go that way after all. Now all I have to do is solve the fan noise issue (airflow noise) with my HT-BD1220 and I am sorted!

Thanks for all your help though.
