W-LAN Port for WAN and LAN?

[Darkstar]

Hi,
I am new in this forum, so please forgive me if this question has already been answered.

I would like to connect my PCs in my appartment to the network of my university via a W-LAN router like the WL-500gx. I can only "see" the AP of the university from my bedroom and I would like to place the router there, so that my desktop pc, laptop, home enterntainment system and so on get a private ip via dhcp and have NAT access the the internet. The problem is, that I have to register the MAC address of any network device I want to connect to the internet, in order to get an public IP via dhcp and to actually exchange data. As far as I understand the repeater function I would have to register the addresses of all my PCs plus the one of the repeater, but the university only allows two. So I would like to use the WL-500gx as router/firewall/dhcp-server/etc to connect my PCs to the internet using the W-LAN port. My question is now which mode, if any, would support this setup?

Greetings Darkstar.

so you want to use the WLAN port acting like it is a WAN port ?

if so, then you can use use CLIENT mode to connect to another wireless netwerk, the WL500g will get a IP assigned to it's WLAN port and so on will route it to your network

thus it will NOT bridge (the thing you don't want) your network with the WLAN network

beware that if you use the WL500g as a wireless client you can not use it as wireless accesspoint anymore

So it is NOT possible with one router what I want to do. As I understand the CLIENT mode, the WL500 would act as a W-LAN adaptor on a LAN cable. What I would like to do is, that it act as a router and access point with only the W-LAN interface. But for this I probably have to use two devices.

I don't know if the WL500 can do clientmode, the WL500g and WL500gx do

and yes you can either use client mode or AP, otherwise you have to use WDS Hybrid mode but that's to 'bridge' your network with theirs
