Will a Gateway 2Wire2700 work as a wireless bridge in conjunction with a Optik V1000H

[Rerun]

Just got Telus Optik tv (I like it). I used to have just telus internet and used the Gateway 2Wire modem-router (supplied by telus), which I still have.

The new Optik tv modem-router (black box with two antennas #V1000H) is on one floor and my tv with Sony bluray is on another floor and its impractical to hardwire the two together. My bluray does not have wireless capability. I would like to use a wireless bridge to connect the bluray player to and then wirelessly connect to the new telus modem-router.

Will these two work together? If yes, how do I go about setting the old modem-router up as a wireless bridge?

I warn you... I know absolutely nothing about this type of stuff.

P.S. Called called customer support at telus to ask this question and the guy didn't even know what a wireless bridge was..... sigh.

I dont think the 2wire can be setup this way. Might want to see if you can find a WiFi adaptor for your bluray player.

The 2wire can most assuredly not be configured the way you want.

The Airport Express would be an interesting choice, since you could line out from it to your audio gear, and then airplay (stream) music to your entertainment centre, while also having ethernet-to-wireless bridging for your bluray player.

As sclitheroe mentioned, the Airport Express is a great option for wireless bridging. If you can get your hands on an old router that's on this list,

you could install DD-WRT on it and set it up as a bridge.
