Hi All,
I have been trying to sory *my* wireless network out recently and have been asking some questions on alt.internet.wireless but the replies are intermittent and the information sparce ;-(
So I thought I'd sneak a question in here and if anyone is 'up' on all the lastest WiFi stuff maybe you could reply off list if you can help please?
Basic scenerio:
Belkin WiFi cable router (F5D7230-4) connected to NTL providing mainly wired access to home PC's.
Wireless access via Belkin using WPA-PSK.
A 'remote link' (down the workshop) provided by a pair of Netgear ME102's (local one in AP mode, remote one in 'client' mode). All working fine except only 128b WEP (they don't support WPA).
The remote PC (old laptop) is connected to the remote 102 via 10m of Cat5 (ap can then sit just behind the window for good signal). USB / PCMCIA devices not suitable.
I've picked up an Asus WL-300g that was supposed to be 'flexible' (would even take Netgear router firmware etc) in the hope that it would replace the remote netgear AP, connect directly to the Belkin router and also use WPA. However, Belkin suggest that in Bridge or WDS mode WAP isn't supported (not part of the WDS standard) so I'm wasting my time trying (although I do think it actually connected as I hoped at one point but I can't get back to that position again )?
So, what actual bit of kit do I need (make / model) that would act as a remote, Ethernet 'node' that *should* connect to the Belkin router (as if it was a std WiFi client (USB dongle etc)) AND support WPA-PSK (or possibly Radius) please?
All the best ..
