Hi everyone
its my first time here.
the problem.
in the house there is a wireless router (down stairs) say we call it A-router, it works fine. sometime i get no wireless activity upstairs on laptops.
the A-Router is connected via a network cable to the computer upstairs (the internet works fine) something my brother setup.
i have a spare router its a netgear dg834gt.
what i would like to know is, if i take the network cable out of the computer plug it into netgear dg834gt and plug another network cable from the netgear dg834gt to the computer. i have done this and the internet works.
but i cannot access the router. so i took out the network cable which is connected to the A-router.
did a ipconfig /release
reset the netgear dg834gt
now i can access the netgear dg834gt (but u have to release its not connected to the internet) and its connected to the computer.
how can i set it up so it can be used as a wireless access point? is this possible? Or can I do it another way?
so this is how i want it to be.
A-router is connected to the internet (which is downstairs) (my brother has access to it) the wireless laptops work fine downstairs.
the network cable which is runs upstairs i connect that to the netgear dg834gt and have another network cable running from the Netgear dg834gt to the computer and set it up as a wireless access point.
what setting do i need to put in the netgear dg834gt for the above to work?
Is the above possible?
Please can anyone shed any light on this, and how I can do it?
Thanks.
