WL500GP as an access point

Hi guys...

I have these 3 routers..

Asus WL500GP
Buffalo WBMR 300N
Linksys WRT54GX

I need to put one as a router and another one as a wireless access point. Can someone please help me out to achieve this task since I need to connect my kids PC wirelessly to the router.

Please help

Hi,

in the standard administration website of the asus (http://192.168.1.1) you can choose out of 3 kinds of configuration: Home Router, ........ (don't remember) and Access Point Only.

Choose Access Point Only mode, and it does what you want to do.

Thanks raas as always..an someone help me up on how to configure all???

I will connect the buffalo then as router and asus as access point wirelessly

Do you want to connect the asus wirelessly to the buffalo router?

I think you will have to setup a (wireless) bridge then.
(but I do not have experience with this setup. but it's possible, I've read posts on this forum achieving this.)

Otherwise, just connect a LAN cable between the buffalo and one of the 5 ports on the asus (in AP only mode, you have 5 lan ports, the wan port is then bridged with the other 4 lan ports)

if possible I need to do it wirelessly...how do I bridge it up please ?

Thanks..found some settings on this fantastic site and worked :)
