What's up all...
CLIFF NOTES-----> HELP!
New to this forum yet not new to the all powerful knowledge "forums" provide.
Here's the issue.
I've got a Netgear storage router connected to DSL in the kitchen of my home (there's no phone line in the computer room). I've got both a laptop with a wireless card and a desktop with the same. The connectivity of the desktop is sup par.
To rectify this I bought another refurbished Netgear storage router and a Netgear wireless access point knowing which I would like to use yet not know which device would work.
I wanted to set up either the wireless access point or the second router in the room with the computers to pick up the signal from the first router and then in turn hard wire the laptop, desktop, and game console directly to the wireless access point or second storage router. Ideally, I would like to use the second storage router because I'd like to connect one of my external HDs to the second storage router.
My questions are as follow:
HTF do you do this?! Can I indeed use the storage router to pick up the signal from the first router?
Can you do this?!
I only tried to configure the Netgear wireless access point. I was never able to log on the the access point's configuration page. Don't know why.
Netgears damn instructions conflicted with the troubleshooting Q&A's I found on Netgear's website... probably my last time using Netgear hardware due to principle alone.
I am by no means a networking guru at all. Good with pc hardware and software, etc... but networking just hurts my damn head.
SEE CLIFF NOTES ABOVE
Any personal solutions, networking tutorial sites, etc would be appreciated.
BTW... Hi, my name is... TCalYen
Thanks in advance,
