connecting one router to another router

Burzhui · 12-18-2003, 11:15 PM

Ok so here is the task

I have an SMC router, and now i bought a belkin wireless router, i pluged the wireless router into the smc router. Now the trick is, how do i make this contraption work.. i need to et to the settings of the wireless router somehow. The wirelss settings are disabled for security purposes until you enable them yourself, therefore i can't use a wireless device to connect to it since it requires a certificate to connect... any ideas?

cause that would be too easy

The default settings on my Belkin wireless router lets me use it like how yours is set up. If I want to make it a secure setup I would have to hardwire connect to enter the settings.

Listen up lazy bones! plug the wire from your pc into the port on the wireless and turn on all the wireless stuff, disable all of the dhcp and NAT settings on the new router, give it an ip address on the same subnet as your original router and you're all set.

This assumes you need both routers. I'd say get rid of the wired only and you're done.
