gEEEk Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hey there. That option is called "Use as access point" in the belkin menu. /gEEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vector Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hey there. That option is called "Use as access point" in the belkin menu. /gEEEk i think hes talking about how to use his belkin router in client mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mesartwell Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 You would probably have to install dd-wrt or some other firmware (if it's even supported on that router.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gEEEk Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 i think hes talking about how to use his belkin router in client mode. 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..

Corrosion. Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
