wireless internet via dslrouter/cable

by beanmeister . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

Hi, this is a rather difficult one..
Originally we were going to get DSL internet, so we bought a Billion Bipac 5100W wireless ADSL router/switch.. Would have all worked fine, only we then 6 months later went and got Cable internet instead..
The cable internet of course coming with a cable modem (Motorola sb5100 surfboard cable modem)..

Of course still wanting wireless, i am trying to set it up so that we can still get a wireless connection to internet through the billion wireless….. eg

Internet cloud ——– Cable modem ——– Bipac 5100W ———- (wireless connection to computer)
Now using cat5cable from modem to bipac, and another cable from bipac to computer works no problem.. This all happens with computer on dymanic addressing, and DHCP on router OFF.. Changing to wireless, and trying to get a connection works to no avail… Have thought of anything possible.. cant work… Anyone got any ideas on how this could work.. Other than buying a new wireless cable modem (last resort.. save money).
