I'm currently using an ethernet (wired) router to connect to the internet
(Cisco 800 Router if that makes a difference). I have another computer in my
basement with a wireless G PCI adapter (MN-730). I want to use the MN-700 as
an access point from the router so that I can connect to the internet
wirelessly from the computer in my basement. (i.e. I want to make my existing
network wireless.)
When I set up the base station as an access point I'm not able to connect to
the internet on the computer in my basement. How am I supposed to be
connecting the wires? Currently I have the broadband modem going to the
router, and then an ethernet cable from a port on the the wired router going
to a port on the wireless router. On the wireless access point should the
ethernet cable be plugged into one of the available ports or into the "to
modem" port?
Once I have all the connections correct how should I configure the base
station? Aside from changing the mode to "Access Point Mode" is there
anything else I need to configure in the Base Station Management Tool? Is
there anything I need to configure on the ethernet router as well?
Please help me with any info you can!
