It was really complicated and the instructions just don't explain properly. Here goes: 1. From your PCs Ethernet Connection window, note the Connection Details - usually IPv4. These will be the settings to connect to your Main Router that you normally use to access the Internet. You will use...

I bought an AKORD - Nexx 3020H Wirelss 300mbps travel router - very nice. I have an Humax Freeview Box and a Satellite box which require an ethernet cable to connect to the internet. I already have 2 Homeplugs in use so this neat little router was bought to use as a bridge from my main Wifi...
