Depends.. Do you just want to share internet but no network sharing stuff?
Or do you just want it to be on the network like everything else you already
have?
I'm assuming (<---uh oh) you only want to use it as an AP for your laptop,
but still allow access to everything else... Turn off the DHCP server, set
the IP address to something in the same subnet you are already on, and use
the router part plugged into your existing network..
Think three things in one box with a wap/router combo... Wan in, then the
WAP, then the router... You basically will probably only want the WAP part
for your wireless notebook (internally connects to the router part,
basically makes it an AP on your existing network, usually has the same
subnet address so it can see other devices on the network). |
