hi,
trying extend range of linksys wrt600n router connected cable modem. router in basement corner. time signal reaches farthest room - 2nd floor bedroom on opposite side of house, ipad or mbp cannot strong signal. thought airport express me that. while trying set using airport software, tried various options posted folks on forum , others, have failed. of posts linksys wrt54g. wondering if had luck wrt600n , extending airport express. understanding if extend network, airport express becomes client of network , not forward ip's etc - hence trying join wds network. did following -
1) hardwired airport express (cat5) lan port of linksys router.
2) airport detected - went in through manual settings, "joined wds network"
3) modified wireless tab reflect linksys ssid
4) tried both wep , wpa-personal - results same in both cases
5) entered mac address of linksys router (2.4ghz channel) wds settings.
6) airport express gave green light.
7) other laptop,desktop etc. see ae through wireless setup , connect, not ip address forwarded , internet connectivity failed.
thoughts/ideas on how work? have flash linksys router dd-wrt firmware?
advice!
anyone?
