I have two 3Com 3CRWDR101A-75 officeconnect wireless routers. One is connected to a DSL line and the small wired office network.
The second is to be used as a range extender. I set it up with WDS enabled, selecting the first network that is easily found.
What else do I do for wireless-enabled laptops to connect to the whole network. i tried connecting to the second, but could not see the rest of the network.
Is there anyhting special that needs to be done? Do I have to set up the first with WDS enabled, and looking at the second?
It seems so obvious, nut the manual does not say anything.
Yes, set each one's WDS enabled and make each one have the other marked as the root. Each one should be set to recieve the signal of the other. It may work with the 2nd only enabled.
Then the firt one only should have the DHCP server: ON
The client laptops should be configured to obtain the IP automatically
