Can u use a belkin router to pickup a wifi connection?

Does the manual say it can?

[StarchyPizza]

Hey there.

That option is called "Use as access point" in the belkin menu.

i think hes talking about how to use his belkin router in client mode.

You would probably have to install dd-wrt or some other firmware (if it's even supported on that router.)

I have a belkin F5D7230-4

Oh f***.

I wrote the wrong option. I meant "Wireless Bridge". :(

Sometimes your mind says something but your fingers says something different.

Sorry about that..

Just give it the other AP's mac adress.

And apparently the other AP's WEP encryption (if need ofc).

Yours might be different but my router can only handle WEP in Bridging mode.. Damn..

ok so do this correct?

Set my belkin router to accept the mac of the linksys I wish to extend then connect my laptop to my belkin via ethernet and I can get that connect? Please correct me if I'm wrong, in the mean time I'll try that thanks
