2 wireless router/ access points, 1 as wireless receiver I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless access point router that was in my
old office away from home.
I have a DLink DI-614+Wireless router/ access point from my old home
network.
I have moved my office to my home.
I would like to make the DLink DI-614+ a access point only, for a
computer in another room from my office.
I would like to do this, since I already have it and to keep from
buying another wireless ethernet card.
According to DLink, with the use of a crossover cable, and by
disabling the DHCP, and also assigning the DLink a IP address within
the range of the DHCP of my Lynksys (not it's default 192.168.0.1),
this should be able to work as a receiver on the PC it is hardwired
to, via the crossover cable.
In effect, the DLink should act like a simple access point, or in some
words, as if it were a wireless adapter on the PC, just not installed
to the MBO.
I have tried every setting possible that I can think of, but I have
had no luck.
The PC attached to the DLink thinks it is hooked to the LAN, but only
sees itself.
I have swapped IP's all over the place, and according to DLink Tech
support ('nuff said there), this should work like a wireless receiver,
but so far no luck.
I have been all over groups here and several on the net, but can't
find one that explains my situation as it is setup.
Does anyone know how to make this work and if it will in fact even
work this way?
Thanks
