Hi,

I bought a DI-624 D-LINK Wireless Router that I need to connect WITHOUT a wire to an access point.

The scenario goes like that:

An access point is getting a wireless signal from a Broadband antenna, and re-emitting the signal. Works perfect as a wireless bridge, but the problem is with connecting only one laptop.

Now i need to connect several laptops. But I cannot extend a wire from the AP to the Router.
My question is again: Can I connect the DI-624 to the Atlantis Access Point WITHOUT a wire?
If yes, how?

Appreciate your quick help.
Thanks.

There is only a WLAN. Unless you can somehow rig the unit to have a wireless WWAN, don't think your in luck.

You're not going to have any luck doing this with a DLink unit. While there are higher end APs (Cisco, Orinoco) that allow bridging like this it is not a feature built into home units. At least that I've evern seen as of yet. :)

Replace it with a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) enabled router...this will allow the router and access point to talk to each other over wifi, but both must use WDS.

I welcome your willingness to contribute, but please check the dates.

Just purchased 2 Netgear WNR3500L wireless routers. Using one as the base and the other as a repeater. This configuration will solve your problem.
