I have a main router, a D-Link DIR-625 wireless-N router for my home network. I have it set up with WPA-2 and mac addressing. I have a D-Link DSM-320 MediaLounge I want to connect to my WinXP PC to access multimedia files and streaming content from the Internet, but it can only use WEP security. I don't want to drop the DIR-625 down to WEP, because I'd lose the benefits of wireless-N. Now, I have a second wireless router, a D-Link DI-624, that I've learned I can set up as a 'switch', so the MediaLounge can access the DI-624 using WEP security. Say the DIR-625, connected to the PC, is 192.168.0.1, while the DI-624, connected to the DIR-625 (LAN port #2 <--> LAN port #2), is 192.168.0.2. DHCP is also disabled on the DI-624. Now, I can access 192.168.0.1 (DIR-625), but not the DI-624 through 192.168.0.2. What am I missing here, and how can I get the MediaLounge to work with this second router? Does the DIR-625 need the Mac address of the DI-624 to acknowledge it? Thanks for any help, Mark
