I am looking to ‘link’ two parts of my house together to the same network… how do I do this?
I have a WRT54G in my office(Point A) where the DSL comes in. In another part of my house (Point B) I want to add another desktop and a network device both have 100Meg wired connections at point B. How can I link A and B together via wireless while still having the devices in Point B connected to a wired hub.
I want my WRT54G at A to control DHCP, etc.
From looking at the Bridge WET54G it will connect to one device only. Looking at the Wireless Access Point it is not clear what the differences are as they both have only one port… Do I need an access point to attach to a hub? Therefore two products?
Any help would be great.
This is what I tried before based on what one of the guys in the store told me... but it did not work.
I tried buying a USB wireless adaptor (Netgear) to add to the PC and then have the PC plug’s into a $15.00 switch I picked up at Fry's. then plugging in the S

Sounds very complicated. Have you tried calling Linksys? They have good tech support and it doesn't expire after a year. They also have a web site with a knowledge base which is very helpful. www.linksys.com and you will see the online tech support.

The best way forward is to attach an Access Point to the hub. I do something similar in that we have an AP on our DSL router and 4 wireless PC's.
I have a 4 port hub in my office with another AP so all the devices can connect to the DSL.
I suggest looking at a Netgear WG602 or similar - it may meet your needs.

definite. connect an ethernet cable from an ethernet port on the Verizon modem to an ethernet port on the router. As stated formerly, turn off DHCP and get rid of any DNS addresses on the router (this way, the router can act as a swap). Now the desktops that are related to the router ought to get an IP handle immediately from the modem. make certain that the router and the modem are assigned an IP handle and subnet mask that are on the comparable community.
