    Surely there should be a support for the bb in this situation who could advise on the settings? Who do you contact if there are connection problems?

    The product you mention seems to be for extending an already existing wireless network thats if I am reading this correctly:

    http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop/Reviews.asp?ProductID=2375.

    That link just goes to an ethernet bridge by the same company. I'm not familiar with what that one does but my one basically fed a wireless signal into a standard ethernet port on a computer that didn't have any wireless capabilities.

    (just to clarify to the OP, I don't believe you're looking for what I mentioned, now that you've given a bit more information)

    The router in the building will supply an IP to the OP's new wireless router.
    So:

    Building Router > New Wireless Router > OP's Laptop etc

    I do the same at home. So it won't be a problem. I wouldn't go into bridge mode etc unless it is absolutely nessisary.
