Re: [H] Bridge update
bridge 2 wireless routers together, basically router_1 is the regular router, router_2 is specially configured (i.e. a wireless switch, for all intents and purposes). Everything you connect to router_2 will go through router_1 as if it was directly connected. Google for WLAN bridge, the concept and how-to do it is pretty much available in all routers these days - ideally, you use 2 routers of the same make/model. same thing as below except there's no easy 1-press button to auto-magically handle it all.

Nitpick: connects 2 network SEGMENTS, not 2 different networks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_bridge Broadcasts go across the bridge, so you could have 2 sites states away connected with a VPN, then use a bridge across the VPN to make it appear they are both on the same LAN. As said above, allows you to connect 2 distinct network segments that are separated physically into a single logical network.
