I have a Linksys WRT54G and a WAP54G that I am tryingto get to work with each other. I have been running the WRT54G for some time with no problems other than some dead zones in my house. It is this reason that I have added the WAP.
I added the WAP, assigned it the same SSID, and security key. My Router is at 192.168.1.1 and I assigned the WAP 192.168.1.2. I can connect wirelessly to the WAP, but I can not get past it. At first, I could not even ping the Router until I noticed that it had NAT running. WHen I turned that off, I was able to ping the Wireless Router, but I still could not get past it.
I know the two units can see each other (I had allowed the WAP to get a IP address through DHCP to verify they were both on the wired network, and they were) but for whatever reason, if I go wireless through the WAP, I can not hit the internet. WHat may I be missing in my setup?
Yes, the WAP is on a hard wire cat5 network. Yes, both have the same SSID, but are on two different channels (this is how I can verify if I am on the WAP or the Wireless Router).
