I have a two Linksys Wireless Access Points (WAP11's) on an "Infrastructure" wireless network. I have one set up as an Access Point (connected to a DSL router), and I would like to set the other up as a wireless extension point. I have been unable to find any documentation on doing this. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Hi Joe, I'm afraid I cannot help you with your problem,but you may be able to help me with mine. I am running WPC11 cards in my laptop and server plus using the WAP11 in infrastructure mode. I can see the server from my laptop fine but cannot access the other units on my netwirk nor access the internet from my laptop. I am using MS Internet Connection Sharing. Linksys support have been useless. Can you help. Thanks in advance. Barry Campbell

Barry, I have a WAP11 Access point and a WPC11 wireless access card. I have installed the drivers and the config. utilities and done exactly what the users guide says but not able to share the internet connection existing in my desktop from my laptop. Pl. help Thanks Siva

I was lookign for help but it seems I can give some: Joe: Get the latest firmware and config utilities. Then in AP mode tab of your second access point (The one NOT connected to the router) select "Wireless Bridge" and enter the MAC of the other access point. You may have to do the same to the one connected to the DSL router, and enter the MAC address of the other access point, but i am unsure. Just try it, wont hurt any. Bary and Sive: Make sure that if your running a firewall its not blocking stuff. On your laptops, enter a uniuqe ip address (an example setup is below) for each card and, heres the important part, the IPs should be on the same subnet (just check below) , you SHOULD NOT use DHCP as microsoft says you should, and you need to put the IP address of the computher with the internet connection in on the laptops as the "router" or "gateway". Check this out: I will be using the subnet of 192.168.1.x for this example. If you odnt know what that means, thats ok. Just follow along. COMPUTER A (With Internet connection) IP address: 192.168.1.1 (Should be the network card, or LAN ip address depending on windows version. Check the TCP/IP settings for this connection. DO NOT mess with your dialup connection properties) Net Mask/Subnet: 255.255.255.0 COMPUTER B (Laptop) IP Address: 192.168.1.2-254 Net Mask/Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway/Router: 192.168.1.1 (IP address of COMPUTER A) WIRELESS ACCESS POINT IP Address: 192.168.1.250 (Default. But any IP address on the same subnet as your other computers (192.168.1.1-254) will do, so long as no other computer has that IP address. If this helped you or didnt, email me at cmingram@earthlink.net This isnt a normal board of mine so i doubt i can follow up. Good luck.

Oh, almost forgot. All subnet/netmasks should be identical. Use 255.255.255.0 throughout, even on the WAP
