Thanks. I am not sure why I didn't see that earlier. Will test it out later today.
Thanks again

Any pointers on how do I bridge them via wireless? Long run I will go with the wired bridge but as I don't have a long Ethernet cable yet, I was wondering if there is a procedure handy to bridge them on wireless.
Thanks in advance.

The only Sky router which supports the ability to link two routers together via WiFi is the DG834GT. You'll need to navigate to the 'Wireless Repeating Function' page. The downside though is that you are limited to WEP or no WiFi security.

If you can't run a long Ethernet cable, then consider installing a pair of HomePlugs. Remember that you could run an Ethernet cable behind the wall, up into the loft and back down somewhere else. You could terminate each end with a suitable faceplate and run a short Ethernet cable from the plate to the router.

I would try to use a Cat 6 shielded cable if possible to do this as it would reduce any interference from any electrical cables. Remember that the shielding needs to be correctly connected at both ends.
