Hi,

I have Telecom broadband. They sent me the new Thompson wireless modem TG5845 v7, which i upgraded to. All good. I have configued all my wireless devices (laptops, printers, media players etc .. all good)

I have the old D-Link DSL-G604T that I used before left as spare.

i used to plug my Panasonic Blue-Ray Player into the old D-Link via Cat5 cable to use the players built-in You-Tube surfing. this is not a wireless device, so needs a cable to router for connection to internet.

I just used to run a long Cat 5 from lounge to the study where the rounter used to be.

Now, that this D-Link is spare, is there a way to use its Wireless connection features to connect the Blu-Ray to it via Cat 5 and connet the D-link to the Thompson Router wirelessly avoiding the long cable running in the house.

I read some bit on the net about being able to re-configure routers to Access points but there was not comprehensive set of steps on what to do.

Any ideas guys. (I am at < networks 101 level, so can follow steps, but not too knowledgeble beyond that)

Help appreciated. Thanks
