Can't get WAP to work
I've had a Linksys WRT54GS router working well for some time. I decided
to extend the range in my house by adding a WAP (WAP54G?). Seemed straightforward. Assign it the same SSID as my router and i could seamlessly move between the two - correct? Not working. I have the WAP plugged into my LAN, and my laptop picks up a full signal, but gets the "Limited or No Connectivity" message when connected. What am I missing here? Maybe the Gateway address is wrong on the WAP? SHould it be that of my modem (192.168.1.1) or my router (192.168.2.1)? Or is it something completely different? Am at a loss here. Thanks, Doug dougawells@gmail.com |

Re: Can't get WAP to work
Aloha ,
On the other end of the LAN connection from your WAP is your WRT or some other hub/switch? What device hands out your DHCP? I'd have the WRT doing DHCP and I'd plug the WAP (via the wall) into the WRT. Gateway address should be the WRT. -Ben- Ben M.

Re: Can't get WAP to work
My router is my DHCP server - so, my gateway on the WAP should be the
router's IP address? Ben M. Schorr - MVP wrote: > Aloha , > > On the other end of the LAN connection from your WAP is your WRT or some > other hub/switch? > > What device hands out your DHCP?

Re: Can't get WAP to work
Aloha ,
Yes. Your modem connects only to your WRT54 router. Your WAP and other wired devices (if any) plug into the WRT54. Default gateway on all of these devices should be the WRT54. Default gateway on the WRT54 is what your ISP provides for the modem, of course. -Ben- Ben M.
