I want to add a WAP to my setup (below)
INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS : Wireless G Access Point
and I am at a loss as how to proceed.
Right now I have a Rosewill Wireless b/g/n router running from my modem to 2 desktops and I have the wireless network running with WPA-PSK (AES). On one of the out ports of the Rosewill, I have an ethernet cable running to an old Belkin Wireless G as a pass-through, and from there I hard wire into another desktop and a print server. And yes, the Belkin is still broadcasting the wireless G SSID, which is different from the Rosewill SSID, so it's like I have 2 wireless networks in the place.
Now I'd like to set up this WAP in another room to grab the wireless signal and hard-wire it to the Panasonic TV with Viera. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to access the setup page! I have tried plugging it into the Rosewill, the Belkin, direct into a laptop (with and without wireless connection active), direct into a desktop....I am bewildered.
The Rosewill is 192.168.0.1
The Belkin is 192.168.1.1
The WAP is 192.168.2.1
all of them are subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Any ideas? Thanks!
hmmm...I figured it out - I had to hook it up to a computer and specifically set that computer (temporarily) to 192.168.2.x in order to reach the configuration page of the WAP. Nice! Now I can grab the wireless network internet signal and send it to my Panasonic Viera TV via ethernet cable!
