I'm acctully trying to setup excatly what you said in your artical. I hooked a wireless access point to a router, by a RJ 45 cable now when I turn off the DHCP in the wireless acess point the computers connected to it don't get a IP address. The DHCP of the first router is not getting past the wireless access point. 2 computers are on the wireied router. 1 computer is connected by wire to the wireless access point, and 2 wireless laptops. My wireless access point is a Bufflo router/access point it has a switch to set it up as a access point. Now as router mode the 2 laptops and 1 desktop get a ip address and can connect to the computer. Now I set the buffalo to a wireless access point, none of the computers can get a ip address, so they can't connect to the network at all, not even the internet.
(all 5 computers are up to date with no virses)
I tried to be very clear on this problem, becuse I need to know how to get this fixed, thank you for anyone who reads this.

Unless your DSL modem has wireless capability, then yes, you'll most likely
need to purchase a router.

how to connect my wireless router to free hotspot?

I am trying something a little different and YES I have turned OFF NAT and DHCP as you suggested in the article but no help with this problem,
.... curious as to not having a problem when it was turned on..??
I have an Access Point connected as a wireless device about 150 feet from my router in another building.
My computer is connected to the wireless AP and everything works..
But when I add a voip adapter between the wireless AP and the computer, nothing works.
Without the voip device in the line everything works fine. Could you help?
Thanks

Hi,
Did you check for the Range of IP that is provided for your VOIP BOX ? Does it carry any static IP ??

I don't understand this. Lol I'm not too good with this stuff. I have a wired router. I bough a D-link G-122 usb wireless adapter. Trying to figure out how to connect that and make a wireless access point so I can play my psp with online players. I hope this makes sense. If you know anything about this please help me. Thanks so much!
