wireless access point

Hi All

I have a Sitecome wireless router hooked up to a Dlink Wireless access point
to a Dlink aerial connecting to a shop across the street. All is fine for
the computer across t he road (about 60 metres) and I get a Very Good
Signal. I want now to add a laptop to across the road to connect as well. I
purchased another wireless access point (DLINK DWL-900AP) thinking that if I
placed that across the road it would pick up the signal from the main
Sitecom router and then the laptop would be able to access also. Not so.
Does anyone have an idea as to how I should do this please. All new to
wireless networking but done fairly well so far

Cheers

I am a little unclear about the scenario .. but it sounds like you
need to extend the wlan to another building ?

As you have bought another AP it may be an idea to look into setting
it up as a repeater to extend the wireless network you have already.

Hope this helps
