Hello,
My friend has a crappy wireless router, and I live 3 apartments away, too far to use his network. I bought a Cisco E2500 and 200 feet of CAT5 cable. I ran a line from one of the 4 ethernet out ports on the back of his router, out the window, across the roof (involving some night-time ninja-work) into the internet in port on the back of the Cisco.
I then followed the instructions in this post, changing the IP address of the router and turning off the DHCP server. I set up a WPA2-personel network on the Cisco, and can log onto it, but cant get on the net. In addition, his computer now gets pop-ups saying that another device is using the same IP address as his.
Questions:
1. The "basic setup" has four connection types: which should I use:
•Automatic Configuration - DHCP
•Static IP
•PPPoE
•PPTP
•L2TP
•Telstra Cable
2. What else do I have to do with the setup?
thanks,
Mike
