How do I get my wireless access point to work with my existing router?

This is an excellent article about DSL. However,
satellite DSL should be considered as an alternative, particulary in rural areas without regular DSL access.

I have comcast modem-router all in one. is it better to use that or buy a separate router to be able to connect an internet DVR with 4 cameras?
thank you

I already have a great modem and have just recently bought a wireless capable laptop. Is there something that can be connected to one of the LAN ports on the back of the existing modem that sends out a wireless signal, enabling the laptop to use that internet?

Hi Leo! Great article

I actually have a pretty specific question...I use an encore wireless router and I just purchased an Edimax access point, now here's the deal...

I want to use it to "enhance" the wireless signal to make it go to the other side of my house (1 story only), I wanted to use the universal repeater mode so I had to downgrade it...what I've done is basically detect my wi-fi connection and make the edimax enhance it but it seems there is no luck...

When checking on my notebook for the actual connections I am able to see that the MAC address (or SSID I believe) is the same one than the one from my original router, not the Edimax...

Am I mistaken or the MAC address shown should be the one from the Edimax?

------------------------------------

I tried to configure it as an AP+WDS and I get "connected" but I don't have any data transfer (I can't do anything), so...if you have any clue on this it would be awesome and a great help

Thx for your time!

Best regards

I am using a linksys/cisco wireless router WRT310N, connected to my DSL modem. Because I have a large home, I connected a linksys/cisco WRT54G2, via a RJ45, to a LAN port on the back of the WRT310N to act as an access point (AP). It all works great except, I can only connect one device at a time to the AP. I set it up with static IP, and turned DHCP off. It works that way, and I can connect one device. How do I configure the AP to connect multiple devices at a time?

Thanks, Mitch
