Hi, I have the below setup of equipment. Please excuse the ASCII art. Upstairs***************************************************** |))) |))) |))) Wireless ADSL Router(WEP) | Laptop 1 | Laptop 2 | Downstairs*************************************************** |))) Box A Box B WAP55AG | \ | / |_______|______________| |______Switch__________| ************************************************************The wireless ADSL router requires a WEP key to authenticate and once entered the laptops have no problem in connecting to ADSL. The WAP55AG is currently unsecured but due to location I would like to secure it ,possibly with WEP, as well.
When Box a requires an internet connection it uses its NIC to connect to the switch. Would I set the IP of the WAP55AG as the gateway or the private class A address on the ADSL router(10.x.x.x)? Would a secondary WEP key input be required to access ADSL?
Ideas on obtaining secure 'wireless based' internet access downstairs? No equipment can be moved between floors!
