Eircom wireless bridge/repeater

Hi, I have 2 Eircom Netopia 2247 wireless routers. One connected to the DSL line and in routing mode, the other in bridged mode. Both have wifi turned on and set to the same SSID, WPA Key and channel. Wireless bridging is not blocked on either. How can I setup a wireless bridge between them? I dont want to connect them…

Hi,
I have 2 Eircom Netopia 2247 wireless routers. One connected to the DSL line and in routing mode, the other in bridged mode. Both have wifi turned on and set to the same SSID, WPA Key and channel. Wireless bridging is not blocked on either.
How can I setup a wireless bridge between them? I dont want to connect them using any cable. i.e. how do I use the bridged router to extend my network?

I see people have asked this before but the answer always seems to be "use a cable" or "buy a wifi repeater". I have a second 2247 and would like to use it for the 360 without buying another device.

Thanks
L
