What's the general procedure for adding a wifi access point to a DSL modem connection. That is, I've got
DSL router -> Desktop computer
and I want to get to
DSL router -> Wireless router -> Desktop computer & Laptops via wifi
If it matters, equipment is:
- Wireless router: Netgear WGR614
- DSL router: Speedstream 5100
Right now I've got the DSL router with local IP 192.168.0.1/24, the wireless with 192.168.0.100, but I'm having trouble with DHCP. Which router is supposed to assign the addresses? If I give clients a static IP in the range all works - otherwise somebody grabs the remote IP and no one else can connect to the internet.
Maybe I'm supposed to use the Netgear to replace the Speedstream entirely but I couldn't get that to work.
Should the Netgear be on a different subnet entirely or something?
Don't forget that you must not use the Internet/WAN port on the wireless router. It's not connected to the WAN, only the LAN. – David Schwartz – 2011-09-25T12:33:06.690
