Hi,
hope, I am not posting a question/problem, which was already posted.
Anyway; the problem I try to fix is following:
I have an gb ethertnet network in my house; a routing pc connected to cable modem (upc); in every room, there is a gb switch connecting present computers. unfortunately, i had to put one computer rip (connects to production digital printer) outside of network (in terms of availability of cables).
I would like to use two wireless routers (i have dlink 794du and wl500gP) and to make them work in a bridge mode - they should not create its own networks, but one connected to a switch should extend the ethernet lan wirelesly to other router and make the computer with rip part of existing LAN. I have tried to use wl500gp in wds mode, but it does not get an ip.
Honestly, I am not having any experience with wds networks, and thus your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot
