According to those instructions it should work. Is it hanging due to the IP address of the Dlink having changed?

More instructions here http://basri.my/finally-i-have-my-d-link-routers-bridged-wirelessly.html - look at step 8.

I have one of these TP-Link mini routers, it works well, is quite discreet and is dirt cheap.

Worth a try if you want to minimise clutter.  I also use these Homeplug WAP adapter TP-Link adapters which are not exaclty what you are after but also work really well and you can go crazy and keep adding more once you have them

It does not hang when entering the wireless mac code it says to click on save/apply settings it should save and reboot the 2640B just doesn't do anything.

Ah well don't even think the Brightbox2 is WDS capable.

Like Chunkers was saying, my mate has a TpLink wireless extender working with his Orange Livebox and it just works

Was trying to avoid using the power line wireless route just would like the Main routers wi-fi to send the same same wi-fi data to secondary router and boost the signal in that location.

Ah Ok that looks good and could work for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQhEVE61qZY
