Hi there - innocent newbie here!
I have PLusnet broadband and have just moved to a new house which has deadspots which is very annoying!
So I want to connect a Belkin N Wireless router to my Plusnet Technicolor Router as a bridge to extend the range of the wireless signal. Can anyone please explain how I can do this?
I have logged into both routers' admin pages but can't see how to enable bridging!
Thanks

The following link shows how to setup the Technicolor for WDS, Haven't a clue about the Belkin.
http://npr.me.uk/wds.html
WDS gives a very poor performance between two Technicolor routers, I would think it will be even worse between two routers of different make.
I strongly suggest you forget this idea and connect the two routers via ethernet cable or a pair of home plugs.
The following shows how to connect two technicolor routers via ethernet (homeplug), it should give you the general idea for your two routers.

Also consider looking at homeplugs which have built it wireless access points - saving you having to add your own !

Alternatively you could try a range extender. I have 2 and they work well.
