I use the Neuf service in france. They have
their own (ghastly) router and access point.
So I use a wired/wiress network/Internet service from
their router.
I want to use the Belkin F5D7230-4 as a "repeat"
access point only. To achieve this I have ...
Run a Network cable directly from their
box to my F5D7230-4, into the "Modem" port.
Changed the F5D7230-4 IP address to fit
within my range
Run a network cable to a desktop from
the F5D7230-4 as a wired connection.
Used the Belkin utility to activate "Enable
Access Point"
Used the same SSID for the F5D7230-4 as the
Neuf box
Set up the WPA key
Using my desktop I can ping both the Neuf and
Belkin routers
Using one of my laptops I can do the same
BUT The Internet light on my Belkin Router is
not illuminated and I cannot access the Internet
from either machine.
The manual that ships with the router describes
"Access point" as a feature and has a small
section on it, which I have read and followed in
my setup.
Has anybody got any ideas please.
