AP's and relays?

TSC_Busami · 07-15-2002

If I hook up my cable modem and want to relay it through the house what would I need? would a 4 port routher and another AP help through out the house?

You can get your set up to look like this:
(CABLE MODEM)->(AP/WLAN/ROUTER)->(Wired Clients)
(WiFi Clients)

I am sure you aware of the
Linksys EtherFast® Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router w/4-Port Switch
http://www.linksys.com/Products/prod...id=23&prid=173

which is what I have for one of my favorite bundled aps... not too sure what types of problems you may be having to get the tiny range you are getting that you posted here: http://forums.netstumbler.com/showth...&threadid=2743

me either I used to like linksys but the gal told me I would have to go out and buy new antennas even when the routher wasnt a 2 days old.

and I can get the netgear and a wireless card for around 159.00 after rebates

just want something I can set up and go outside and surf on a good day. 200 -300 feet max distance

I have dual boot PC with two NIC cards in it, with internet connection sharing enabled in both XP and Linux. (Mandrake 8.1) The LinkSys WAP11 is connected to the 2nd NIC with a CROSSOVER cable. You can use a cheapy hub also, but a crossover cable is all you need. I like to keep the extra crap down to a minimum.

If you're setting up a home network , this is an excellent site for information on setups, product reviews, and user comments. I think that this site gives a broader view than this forum which is focused on stumbling wireless networks.

Using a Repeater/Bridge is the ultimate setup !
Check this out:
Repeater/Bridge
And the good news is you can now find the 3COM Aps on eBay for $60...

Can you use a ap/relay/bridge to access an unsecured network? Or would i need to use a wifi card and AP to do this?

Ladies and Gentlemen! Come on down for an old Fashioned Zombie Revival.

So, besides reviving long dead threads, why would you want to do what you asked?

itsnotme · 04-12-2007

Wow, that had to be one of the oldest threads to actually be revived other than the april fools revival.

Rule #1 If Blackwave is in the thread, it's too damn old to post in.
