Access Point
in [Wireless Internet]
|
From: jpsga on 23 Apr 2008 10:02 Hello all, I acquired a old Linksys BEFW11S4 router. The plan was to create an access point on my ad-hoc (wired) network that has been operational for several years. I stumbled around trying to configure the old router with little success. I did get an RF link going and the NetGear 311 Adaptor communicates with the old router.The 311 is in Win98SE machine. The question is: Can I use this old router as a WAP? Observation and/or comments appreciated. Jim

Configure it wired though.

Thrown them both out. Honestly. So right but I won't learn anything. Jim
