Hello everyone,
Earlier today I purchased myselves a wireless access point to provide my house and garden with the needed wireless posibilitys.
Normally my infrastructure looks like this:
Cable modem > connected to a router (wired) , on this router there are 2 computers and a laptop, there is a line going upstairs to my studio where there is a 24 port hub connecting 8 computers all wired, from the 24 port hub there is another cable going to a 16 port hub where I connect and test new servers together with my server admin.
Now I connected my wireless acces point to the 24 port hub. Afterwards I connected the power lines and screwed the antennes on.
The model is:

I then booted up my personal laptop which was configured with a static IP adress to work on my school's wirelss internet. This connection was actually enabled, cause normally at my house I use a wired connection. So in disbaled the wired connection, enabled the wireless connection and changed the IP adress settings back to automatic.
I then tried booting the cd-rom however as soon as a menu pops up I get a messagbox saying:
The network device is not ready, and then the cd aborts.
I tried this several times but the same prolbems keeps on happening, so I disabled the wireless again, enabled the wired and tryd navigating to the IP adress which the access point should respond to ( 192.168.1.1 ) unfortunately nothing happens. SO I have no clue at all about how to connect my laptop to this acces point.
And I got a small other question, my garden is about 200meters on 500 meters is it possible to provide wireless access near everywhere wirth just range extenders? Or will I need extra stuff?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English
