Master is
Belkin N+N300 dualband playmax
router
CLient: Beetel - 45BXI
I am not seeing advanced setup option and there is no option to set the DHCP server IP on the client.
I am not seeing it on belkin router too to set it up as bridge.
This is how you can do it, for convection I will call the router with DSL i.e. where the telephone line goes as Master and the 2nd Router which doesn’t have internet and needs to be part of the network as Client. I suppose you know how to connect your modem to your pc /
laptop
On the Master router open the setup page by typing
http://192.168.1.1/lancfg2.html, if you have configured another IP for your routers use that IP. Or Browse to Advanced Setup-> LAN
