Hey I have a dse wire router with 4 Ports. I am needing wireless networking, Can i just add a wireless access point to the router, so i don'n need to buy a wireless router.
Heres what i meen.Phone Plug-Router-Access Point-Wireless Computers.
Thanks and hopefully you understand what i meen.

I don't think you can convert a wired routre to route wireless,if that's what yohu're saying.
Yes you can. Just plug the Wireless Access Point into one of the ports on the router. It should pick up a DHCP IP address from the router and you will then be able to configure the Wireless Access Point according to the manual. However, before you buy a Wireless Access Point I would compare the prices. You may find that a Wireless Router is the same price if not cheaper than a Wireless Access point. Illogical I know, but there is more demand for Wireless Routers than Access Points so the price reflects the demand.

Agree with the above post check out our website, we sell a range of products from safecom with wireless modem router accesspoints starting from £39.99 try the SWART2-54125.
Wireless access points are usually MORE expensive than a wireless router. I would suggest you simply change out your present router for a wireless one. Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
I live in New Zealand and i am looking at a wireless router for $85. Tell me what you think. Wireless routers with built in modems are expensive.
not sure what it is in New Zealand but if on dsl you don't need a modem. You just plug into the wired jack with a rj45 [netwk patch cable] connection. All you would need is this

I bought a wireless router with this in mind. However, I've not been able to get it to work. My wired router is 192.168.5.1/255.255.255.0 with a subnet range from 192.168.5.2 thru 192.168.5.50
When I connect directly (not through my net) to the wireless router, I can login to the router config page and make any changes I need (disable DCHP) - save - log out and still log back in. However, once I change the IP address from 192.186.1.1 (the default to 192.186.5.99, I can not get back to the router config page.After I make the IP change, I shut down my pc, shut down the wireless router, restart my wireless router, restart my pc. I can not successfully PING the new IP.
This is driving me bonkers !!!
Thanks
