> I bought a WET54G Bridge for this setup. I have connected it and still I have no connection between the routers. Please take me step by step thru this installation (Including Security) so that I can get these up and running. I will include a complete Item by Item of what I have so far. Please help. Thanks
I have a Netgear router connected to a network system with a T1 line. I changed the IP address of the router to 192.168.0.99 so that the network had a place for the router.
I have changed the SSID. I put his on all of the routers and network Wireless network cards. I used my wireless notebook to check this connecttion and I can see it and use it.
The Linksys WRT54G is attached to the other system that does not have an Internet connection. I have the WET56G attached to the WRT54G. I have use the disks that came with them to ID all of the boxes together. I put them all on channel 6 and tried 11. I have connected a large antenna to the WRT54G. It is about 4.5 feet long and 4 inches wide.
I have a wireless Sony Vaio system in the upstairs of this network. It show a low signal but I can connect to the WRT54G. All of the systems on the linksys side are Win XP systems with Norton Internet Security Installed
I would like to be able to “see” the systems that I connect to with the router. I can do this with the wireless network cards but I find no way to do this with the routers.
My objective here is to connect the system with the T1 to the other system across the street. Then use wireless to connect to the 2 systems upstairs. I only wish to have Internet connections with these systems These upstair systems are Win XP and have external USB network cards.
If I am successful with this project. I would like to find the perimeter of my umbrella and see if I can bring a wireless connection to a place on the far side of my property. The Antenna I have it suppose to cover 140 acres. I am in a wooded area but I think I should be able to get a little way down the road.
Thanks for any help.
