Alright, I've been all over the web, and I mean ALL over, and I cannot find a simple graphics rich instruction page for config'ing a wireless router to an AP that is NOT wired to the main wireless router. Found your http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wire...w-to-add-an-access-point-to-a-wireless-router and thought I'd struck gold.
Seems there are webpages out there confusing whether to set your IP inside or outside the main router's range in order to become an AP. As I understand it, to config my WRT54, Tomato, Netgear, Linksys, whatever, as a totally wireless AP (that I can then connect to via ethernet) I should set the 'AP' router's IP to something inside the main IP range.
(One difficulty I may be experiencing is that the new landlord's linksys E1000 may not want to play with any of the others.)
Apologies for not wading through numerous articles, posts, whathaveyou to try and drill down to the way I'm using AP. There's just way to many articles and posts everywhere delving into Bridge vs. AP, WET, WDS, etc.
I'm about to give up and use two routers of my own but don't know if I can use a switch off the cable modem for both the E1000 and another 'base' for myself.
Either way, if an article already exists on your wonderful site that happens to cover an AP wired only to it's 'client'/pc/etc. I would be grateful to learn about it.
Thank you,
Mac
