I have been working on this for hours. Any help is appreciated. So anyways, I am attempting to WIRELESSLYct my old belkin router with my cisco router upstairs. I cannot just connect an ethernet cable from my pc to the belkin upstairs, because its too long and my house is designed in a way its not possible. So, my goal is to be able to wirelessly connect the two router, so i can put an ethernet cable in my room from the second router to my pc without having a wire hanging through the house. I have matched the security SSID, passcode, security type, and changed the ip static address on the second router within range of the first, but not exact as the first. When i go into my second router, the belkin, I click on use as access point (to use the router only as an access point for my pc, to connect to the other router), and i entered the ip address for the router access point as 192.168.2.254. Is that supposed to match the ip address I inputed in the settings of the access point. Also, when I click enter after doing this, my second router crashes and I am forced to reboot and reset the router and start all over. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but the model of the second router is Belkin F5D7230-4. Any help? If you need more info or I worded it in a weird way, tell me. Thanks!
 

what exactly do you mean? It's a Belkin Wireless G router F5D7230-4. What doe you mean by revisions? Thanks!
 
AP mode requires a network cable from the Belkin to the other router.

to connect wirelessly from the Belkin to the other router would require the Belkin to support either Client or Bridge Mode. From what I can tell from the manual it does not support either one.

the revision of the router is to new to support 3rd party firmware like DD-WRT.

Sorry it will not work
