Access Point Question

[thesentence]

I have a Linksys Wireless-B Access Point with a Wireless-B USB Network Adapter, Model #: WAP11 - Access Point & WUSB11v4 Network Adapter.

Here is a picture of it: http://i.ebayimg.com/10/!BUiKCz!BWk~$(KGrHgoH-DgEjlLlgJ6SBKN+HiKR!!~~_1.JPG (copy & paste the link since it won't display correctly)

And I believe this is the correct product listing in amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/re.../dp/B00005854B

I got it for $10. Quite a steal if you ask me. I was wondering if it was possible to use it as a wireless bridge. I believe this is what it's meant for:

Internet -> Modem -> Router -> Access Point -> Wifi enabled device

This is what I was hoping I could do:

Internet -> Modem -> Router -> Access Point -> Ethernet connection

Here's my router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ksys%20wrt54gs

I was hoping I could take the wireless output from my router and convert it to a wired connection using the access point. It has one ethernet port in the back.

Just wondering if it's possible since it's pretty much useless to me otherwise, except as a signal boost.

Thanks!

Sorry to bump this, but it's been 3 days and no replies.

Access points are designed to be transmitters.

If you want a receiver, there are many cheap USB versions out there.

It is possible but it depends on the access point u have. Since it is a B access point it should work.

It's to use with Xbox Live...

It Will Work.
Login to the a.p and match the wireless settings of the router with the A.P.
Under The A.p Mode Select the mode as Access Point Clint And need to give the wireless mac address of the router.u can use Your A.P As A wireless adopter trough a Ethernet connection.

Can U give me the model number of the router..

[thesentence]

The model # of the router: WRT54GS V7.2

I'm trying to use this to take the wireless and convert it back to ethernet for Xbox live.

It Will Work With u r router.
Connect The A.p To the router.
open i.e login to the a.p using the ipaddress 192.168.1.251
Match The wireless settings of the router with the a.p i.e wireless network name(ssid) And Sec ( only wep will work ).
Under the a.p mode select Access Point Client put the mac address of the router( u can find the mac address of the router,If u loggin to the router and click on the status tab )
connect the a.p to the x-box with a cable and u will be ready to go.

but only problem is using a B standard access point u can get speed upto max 11Mbps.

My connection ranges from 1.5 MB/s to 3 MB/s so it shouldn't be a problem for Xbox Live. I'll just make sure I never use it for my PC. I'll try it out in a second, sounds good. Thanks!

Ok.Any Problem post me a msg.

After much trouble I finally did a hard reset. I did exactly as you said, but it didn't work. I tested it on my Xbox 360 and desktop computer via ethernet cable but neither of them worked. It would look like it was connecting then it would just not work. On my Xbox the error message said something along the lines of "can't find ip" or something like that. If you need the exact message I can do it again.

Have u matched the wireless settings as u have on the router,Name and security(only wep).
May be the LAN mac address which u need to give on a.p might be given incorrectly.
disconnect the power from the router and a.p.first connect the power to the router and then wait
for 30 sec and connect to the a.p and check.if still not working try to ping a.p ipaddress wireless.
if it is not ping then we need to check whats the firmware on the a.p if old needs to be updated.
let me know what is the firmware version on the a.p.

I got it working, thanks man!
