I have a cable modem, which is connected to an Apple Airport Base Station Extreme, set to use 802.11n for my Macbook Pro.
This works perfectly.
I also have a Linksys WRT54G gateway/router with standard firmware. My plan is to have this connected to the Airport via crossover cable, and allow my friends/family to connect to it on 802.11g.
This is what I tried to do so far:
- Connect the WRT54G and Airport by cable using only the LAN ports.
- Configured the WRT54G to run as a Router, rather than Gateway.
- Disabled DHCP on the WRT54G.
The problem I'm having, is that when I try and connect via the WRT54G, I get a 169 IP. I assumed that it would forward me onto the Airport, and assign me an IP there.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I just want to be able to allow n&g wireless access to my Internet connection!
