> Plugged rio receiver directly into belkin router and it started up with no issues or reboots so that works good
> Plugged a laptop into the linksys bridge and turned off wireless card. I can surf the internet.
> Just for testing i had created a 1 album library and check the tags and they look ok.
> I have a borrowed 2wire Ethernet Wireless adapter that I used today for testing and that worked.
...So it looks like it is definitely the linksys router maybe half working

After lunch I will try and talk to the rio server using your suggestion of a laptop connected to the linksys bridge. Hopefully the link is working later.
