Look at wn2500rpt manual for reference

I can not find the user manual for the WN2500RP, only the installation guide. The link to product support is corrupted. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/WN2500RPT.asp

Link does not work for me. Domain not found. I have a few questions. I am thinking about a client bridge & flashing my WNR3500L (client router) with DD-WRT. MY WNDR3700 (base router) is broadcasting 2 SSID's one for 2.4ghz(b,g,n) & one for 5.0ghz(a,n). I have a name for each. What SSID should I put to connect my client router to? Or should I rename both to the same name? Or turn one off? My 2.4ghz is on channel auto, should I put the channel on say 7 or 11? My 5.0ghz is on channel 44. This is the tutorial I am thinking about trying.

Should I make the bridge with security turned off, then turn the security back on when I have set the client bridge up? Will it make it easier to setup?
Thanks for helping JMI & everyone else

Channel should be 1,6,11 and 13 for Europe

I finally have got the two routers connected and working. After staying up all night & getting a nap of about 5 hours, the setup is working. The hardest part was getting the WNR3500L that I flashed with DD-WRT to accept the changes. I kept getting errors when I tried to apply the changes & not being able to login to the 3500's IP. It took alot of reading for days. The WNDR3700 (main router) is getting WLan speed of 130Mbps. The 3500L is getting Lan speed of 100Mbps. The 3700 is running stock firmware & the 3500L is running DD-WRT firmware. Here is the video I used to make the connection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjGGQoBElbY.
I want to say thanks to JMI & Simon for thier input and suggestions. Also, everyone for viewing the thread. <Solved>
