Re: Wireless router help


I get the impression that you don't actually need routing, you simply
want an AP for your internet connection and don't need to connect more
than one pc to it.

It seems that your existing router could work as an AP still, you just
want to set the security.

I'm not sure, but try this:

1) disconnect router from the internet and reset the router. Find
the little pinhole in the back or wherever and push in for a few
seconds while plugged in.

2) plug your laptop by ethernet cable into the router. It should now
assign you an address as DHCP should default to on.

3) Find the wireless security settings and adjust.

4) Disconnect the cable and try connecting via wireless to the router,
using your new security key. If all goes well....

5) plug the internet cable back into your LAN and try it now.

6) if there are problems, unplug the internet and plug in your pc.
Go into the interface of the router and disable DHCP

7) try again



Good idea to restart router between changes and different connections.
