I have just bought a Cisco wireless access point (Cisco Wireless-N Access Point WAP4410N). It is connected to the same network as my computer. My devices can connect to the access point and get internet access, but what I want to do is have their connection go through my computer. To do this I have set the gateway of the access point to my computers IP however this does not work. What do I need to do to set this up?
You don't want to set the AP's gateway, but the connected devices'. I assume they're getting their IP configuration via DHCP from some Internet gateway device...? If you really need to route your traffic this way, you'll probably want VLANs. – Daniel B – 2014-02-18T17:19:54.340
What do VLAN's have to do with it? VLAN's are a layer 2 construct, not a layer 3 construct. VLAN's don't provide routing capability but instead impose a need to implement inter-VLAN routing. I don't see how VLAN's are at all related to the problem or the solution. – joeqwerty – 2014-02-18T21:47:36.243
Your computer need to be configured as a router and the devices need to be configured to use your computer as their Default Gateway. – joeqwerty – 2014-02-18T21:48:36.950
