    Default Wireless Access Point

    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!

    hi

    In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) is a device that allows wired communication devices to connect to a wireless network using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or related standards. The WAP usually connects to a router, and can relay data between the wireless devices (such as computers or printers) and wired devices on the network.

    Thanks

    Wireless access points (APs or WAPs) are specially configured nodes on wireless local area networks (WLANs). Access points act as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals.

    Access points used in home or small business networks are generally small, dedicated hardware devices featuring a built-in network adapter, antenna, and radio transmitter. Access points support Wi-Fi wireless communication standards.

    Although very small WLANs can function without access points in so-called "ad hoc" or peer-to-peer mode, access points support "infrastructure" mode. This mode bridges WLANs with a wired Ethernet LAN and also scales the network to support more clients. Older and base model access points allowed a maximum of only 10 or 20 clients; many newer access points support up to 255 clients.

    thanks
