I have a Belkin F5D7230 Cable Wireless Gateway/ Router dsitributing my
broadband. I purchased a Belkin F5D7130 Access Point to act as signal
extender (as described in its feature description). These devices are
designed to work together and utilize WDS to communicate. In the setup
instructions wireless bridge is selected on both, but on the router the
instructions said to enter the MAC address of the Access Point. There is a
similar capability to enter the MAC address of the Gateway/Router in the
Wireless Bridge configuration page of the AP. I can ping everything, and
open up the configuration page of the AP from any PC, wireless or wired, on
the network, so everything sees each other. How can I tell if this AP is in
fact passing clients to my Gateway/Router? I can't tell if my clients are
connecting directly to my Router, or to the AP then to the Router. The
clients already had good signal, but I was looking to make it better, so
actual connection to the Router doesn't tell me how they are getting there.
Thanks,
