[Discuss] Router Video connection problem.

[Brij Charan]

Lionel that worked perfectly.

Thank you everyone for your recommendations.

I ended up putting the linksys as an AP based on Lionels recommendation, and
disabled the dhcp server on it.

It works perfectly...movies stream, the wireless works, and the main router
is the one that
hands out the ip addy's.

Thanks :)
