Turn off Buffalo 2 and the netgear. Confirm that you get internet from Buffalo 1. Also turn off DHCPee EVERYTHING in Buffalo 2. _________________ http://69.175.13.131:8015 Streaming Week-End Disco. Station Ripper V 1.1 will do.
1-Xbox uses static set IP and connects to the Netgear and has network
2-Bluray uses static set UP and connects to the Netgear
Netgear wired to the Buffalo 2 and WDS to Buffalo 1.
Weird Happenings:
1-I can only get to the Netgear Setup when wired to the Netgear itself..
2-If the laptop is wired to the Netgear, I have no Internet...BUT I get all the internal network [Buffalo 1, Buffalo 2]
2b-The Laptop is not a static set IP

Sorry if this sounds flaming, but I am a higher end technophile...I can cover the basics on my own...it's the more advanced things, and weird things that stop me...

Not to worry, this is still a very elementary stage. Since you did not answer my question about whether or not Buffalo 1 successfully delivers internet, I will assume it does.
Assuming it does, and assuming you are advanced enough to check device IP addresses and their Gateway addresses, then confirm that your client devices all have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.x and that thier gateway address is 192.168.1.1. If Buffalo 1 does deliver internet and the above IP rules are followed but you still have no connectivity then do a traceroute to google.com and post the results here to show where the packets are stopping. _________________ http://69.175.13.131:8015 Streaming Week-End Disco.

Internet connection is confirmed and working for sure across the all of the network. I do have internet on the Netgear.
The Main Router uses
IP:192.168.1.1
Sub:255.255.255.0
The WDS uses
IP:192.168.1.2
Sub:255.255.255.0
Gateway @ 192.168.1.1
DNS @ 192.168.1.1
DHCP Forward @ 192.168.1.1
The Netgear uses
IP: 192.168.1.3
Sub: 255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: Disabled
------
The oddities:
1-I can only reach the Netgear Setup [192.168.1.3] if I am hard wired to it...Any way to access it off the wire going straight into it?

Does that mean you now have service on the Xbox, Blu-Ray and DIRECTV ?
GeeTek went to get another 12 pack while you finish responding to his previous instruction. _________________ http://69.175.13.131:8015 Streaming Week-End Disco. Station Ripper V 1.1 will do.

Just a question...

Glad I could help _________________ PM for Pin Short Instructions
Set up WDS on the main router and the secondary router, according to the wiki WDS article. Both routers require WDS set up properly. You should have connections showing in the wireless status page for WDS nodes on both routers when they are set up properly...and the signal should not be zero on either of them. _________________ SIG:

I have WDS setup, with another router connected by wire to one of the wireless nodes. I can access all of the routers by wireless connection to one of the WDS nodes.
If your WDS is working properly, and you show signals for both routers in each others wireless status, you don't have the third wired router set up properly.
Wired Lan to Lan, DHCP disabled. AP mode. See the wiki on wireless access point. If it isn't working, post a screenshot of the third routers basic setup page. _________________ SIG:

The WDS between the two routers is confirmed working for sure. I have access to the both of them.
The AP I am using really isn't a AP-but a router. A Netgear WGR614 Version 9. I have it set up as such:
Nothing plugged into the WAN
A CAT5 going into a port
Other comps going into the other ports
Inside the setup [192.168.1.3]
WAN:
Nothing, as nothing goes through it
DHCP is disabled
IP Set: 192.168.1.3/255.255.255.0
Firewall is disabled
Wireless information matches all other information across the network [Channel, SSID, ect].

PS: For the two Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 what is a good build that has the best results for WDS? I am running 12533 and it has lower Strength...[Roughly 65% down to 50+/-%]
