AP Setup

[bob1286]

Just recently, got Centurylink Internet, about a week ago installed for my house.  Do to position of the Modem an location of the Computers can't exactly, run cabling.  In accord to what I was told I could use a AP an connect wireless, to the Modem an repeat the Signal an connect via the ports to the ones without wireless cards.

You can definitely do this, how you set it up depends on the access point but the option/mode is usually called something like "Station", "Client" or "Bridge" - You would put the AP into this mode, enter the SSID and security settings for your main network and then connect devices to the AP via a cable (possibly adding in a switch since APs tend to only have a single port).  Devices connected will then effectively act as though they are connected directly to the main router.

Sorry, I have to work later tonight so I couldn't locate the model of it right off.  It's a Belkin N150 Router, an I have a Linkys WAP54G but, I don't know how to set that up.  I have the switch an was going to connect into that
