Hi,

I don't know how to words my question but here it is.

I have a Belkin wireless router that is connected to the internet ( model : F5D7230-4 with original firmware ) and I have a Linksys wireless router ( model : WRT54G V5 with original firmware ) that I would like to use as an Access point.

The Belkin router is IP is 192.168.2.1 while the Linksys is IP 192.168.1.1.

Is it possible use the Linksys as an access point for the Belkin router?

:?: I appreciate the response

Change the IP address of the Linksys to 192.168.2.2 and disable DHCP. Connect a CAT5 cable from a LAN port on the Belkin to a LAN port on the Linksys.

Just wondering. I know that some Wireless Configuration Utilities go by the Mac address of the router and not the SSID.

Do you guys think it would be more beneficial to clone the MAC address of the access point router, with the original router? So those wifi utilities can connect semlessly?
