Hi,
Im pretty new to all this, so bear with me.
i have a laptop with wireless 802.11g/b, and was
given a belkin F5D6130 wireless access point.
I have a cable internet connection, and i am
wondering if its possible to connnect to the net
by plugging the modem into the access point, and
then wirelessly to the access point.
my wireless program can see it but cant connect
to it, and the belkin wireless access point manager
says the following when i try to scan for
AP:
Dart.TCP.1 Remote host does not exist.
can anyone help me connect to it?
or tell me im dreaming so ican give this thing
back and get a router?

Hi shmee
Your best bet is to take it back swap it
for a Router (without a built in modem as you
are on cable). Hardwire the Router to the modem
using an ethernet cable to configure the network
(interface will take you through set-up). After this
is up and running set up the wireless. Try and
replace the access point with wireless router that
is recommended by your ISP that way if you have
any connection problems they will give you tech
help over phone.
Hope this works for you.
