so the other day i wanted to use my old router to do wireless ethernet bridging since my pc only has an ethernet port. After downloading tomato firmware and long hours of reading and trying stuff i was able to bridge it. After i changed some ip, i couldnt log into my routers admin page. I ran ipconfig /all and i got 169 ip adress with no default gateway. I tried reseting the normal way and the hard reset but still get 169 ip and no default gateway. Any solution?

If by any chance this router is unfixable, can u suggest another way to wifi bridge or any other hardware that can do the job. Also is wireless ethernet bridge better than wifi?
