Linksys WRTP54G as access point

Forum Wireless Networking : Setup, Configuration & Security Linksys WRTP54G as access point

Word :    Username :           
 

Hi!! I just have to say that I love this website!

I am connected through a D-Link VWR router. It is in the basement where my coax comes in. My parents visit every summer in their RV and have a really hard time connecting to it. I have an extra Linsys WRT54G that I do not use anymore. I would like to use it as an access point, so I can place it closer and more visibly for them to connect easier. I have disable DHCP on it and gave in an IP of 192.168.15.22, why 22? Just pulled it out of the air. Is this all I need to do before reconnecting my D-Link to my PC and the Linksys to the D-Link? I think I am totally over thinking this process, like I usually do! Thanks for your help!
