well I doubt it will be working by time you get ungrounded lol and besides it's not too bad it's just a webpage, http://192.168.1.1 that requires a password then you configure it and save.

PM me w/ the specific model and I'll send you the specific guide for that model.

THat's not the IP address for yours, is it? When I clicked the link I got a passworded page but I though the 192.168 range was nonroutable? Help???

[ShadowFox]

NO.. don't click that there lol
if you VPN me and type it in, THAT'S when you'll get something done

Ohh, me and red were talking about this and were a little confused.

Oh, LOL......cool then! When I click that I get the HTTP prompt for our school router! It won't be long now....

Okay, I got it going, fallow these instructions to configure a Wireless-B (BEFW11S4) router to become an access point.

Don't connect ANYTHING to WAN or UPLINK port while you config (so you dont get any new IPs) Only Connect ONE machine to one of the LAN ports, use the web interface at 192.168.1.1 to:

Change the default password.
Add any security settings, ie enable WEP (remember to write down/printout the keys), enable MAC filtering etc.
Turn off DHCP (your LAN already has it because it is running through another router... or atleast mine is)
Go to advanced, and change it from "gateway" to "router".
And any other changes you may need.

NOW you can plug in your LAN. Plug a cable into your LAN using the Uplink port on the Linksys (UNLESS you are using a cross over cable in which you plug it into one of the ports [numbered from 1-4]).

Now power cycle the router (unplug plug it back in).

Now enter that WEP key into your Wireless card settings, or you can just plug in your machines into the LAN ports. Should be all set.

The only way to change the config of the linksys is to hard reset it, and do the whole process again if you mess it up, then again you'd probably want to so you can start fresh with out your previous f-ups.

Thanks for all your help guys, you've been wonderful and I appreciate all your help!

I thought the user guide would help...

[ShadowFox]

Actaully, I figured that out on my own.. it only confused me reading that user guide but it helped in understanding other things that apply to all routers, so It's useful on my wireless-g
