I have a kiss Dp-558 dvd player with ethernet connection. And I would
like to connect it to my home network ( wireless ). Since I can't
install a wireless network card in the player, I thought it might be
possible to use a second wireless router next to the player and use a
cable between them.I have a D-link Di614+ Router ( my home network)
And a spare router CNet CWR-584
I have tried to configure it but is looks like the two routers
interfare with each other. I have disabled DHCP in the CNEt router,
and given it an IP address 192.168.0.2 with netmask 255.255.255.0, The
other router is using the same netmask, but have the IP address
192.168.0.1. They have the same SSID, and use the same channel (1) I
have tried with different ones with no success). Both routers are
applying to IEEE 802.11b

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

What you want to do is in fact to use one of your router as an access
point for your DVD system, or as a bridge.

Natively, each router tries to initiate connection, crypting, etc..., so
if you simply configure the two routers, they don't actually share the
same network, even if they are on the same radio channel. WiFi systems
will alternatively connect to one of them, depending of the radio signal
quality, and not be able to access the "other half" of your network.

You have to see if one of your routers can act as a bridge or as an
Access Point. That means that it will connect to the other one as if it
was a simple node, and simply convert wired ethernet to Wifi.
Setting up the device in this mode is usually done, if supported,
through the configuration interface (I guess through a WEB browser).

If your router don't support this feature, change to either a recent
router, or simply buy a WiFi Acces Point (much cheaper, as they don't do
DHCP, etc...)

you only need to configure it once at a pc and you should be able to
connet it with the kiss. maybe that helps.
