ceez Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 hello,I am having some trouble connecting a Linksys WAP (WAP54g) to a Westell DSL+Router (E90-60030-06) for my g/f.At my house I was able to connect the WAP to my Linksys Router and connect to it via 192.168.1.245. I changed the setting to get its IP via DHCP because my g/f's modem+router is currently setup to give out IP's.Now when I connect the WAP to the DSL modem and try to connect via wireless the laptop does not even see any wireless nextworks (XP+sp2).I would assume that the modem would assign an IP to the WAP and then the wireless will be on the network and the laptop able to see the WAP!What the heck an I doing wrong? Do i need a switch/hub in between the DSL and WAP, ie": DSL -> Switch -> WAP?Thank you for your help....this is driving me nuts!?!?!?ceez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
