Hey folks. After about 8 hours of working on this problem i have decided to get some outside help. My boss decided he wanted to go wireless in the office, which is cool. But he never check the order with me first. We run on a standard ADSL connection here and he ordered a pure wireless access point. So it has no phone jack or anything. I have it all running fine by bridging the network card and wireless adaptor on one of the machines, so it still stays plugged into the ADSL modem. However, this is a software solution as the machine with the bridged connection has to stay on all the time for the others to access the net. I have the following hardware.
I do not even know if it is possible to do this via hardware, seeing how no matter what i do they refuse to talk to each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I haven't used any of the dynalink wireless gear, but surely plugging the access point directly into the network, setting the correct ip range, gateway etc on the router and on the client (either static of dhcp) will allow traffic coming in via wireless to act as if it was on the network as a wired device
I've done this with dlink gear and will be doing it soon with linksys gear
Theres no reason that you cant just plug the AP into the existing network/modem. The only problem might be that since you have two routers they might not play nicely. You should be able to overcome that problem by setting the AP/Router/Switch so that it gains its IP from the existing Router/Modem/Switch as apposed to assigning IP's. You may have to fiddle with the network settings on a PC so you can gain access to the web based management software that each unit has.
