Hey Guys!

I just bought This new wireless router to replace my aging DL-624 router. I want to turn the older router (the DL-624) into an access point so it can pick up a wireless signal from the new router and be able to use the LAN ports on it (for another computer and an xbox 360).

Know what I'm talking about? :confused:

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: I found out how Here but if you guys have any other ideas, please feel free to leave them.

Second Edit: I'm got getting a signal at all. If anyone has any idea on steps I could follow, it would be appreciated.

Not quite sure what you mean by "pick up a wireless signal from the new router" you cant bridge a wireless signal through another router, you can connect to your old routers wireless using the SSID, but to then connect to the other one they would have to be linked/bridged using an ethernet cable.
 
Are you asking if you can convert it to a wireless bridge (a device which converts a wireless signal to wired)? If so that can't be done, but if you want to create an AP and have two wireless networks, then that would work.

BTW, Do you have other 802.11n devices? If not then it was pretty pointless buying an 802.11n device.
