my friend

may i know first what is the distance between the access point the router please?
if it is in between 50 to 60 feet then the access point can easily communicate with the wireless router..

what we need to do is to change some settings in the access point...

just type in the default ip address of linksys access point in the internet explorer address bar...
you will see a intereface for it
in that just select the repeater mode( place the mac address if necessary) for it and your access point will communicate with the router....
