Access Point

Get the docs here;

Ancient router, ancient OS on the PC. Thrown them both out. Honestly.

The router/AP should be fine - and as far as the speed; #1 - What do you have for your Internet connection ? #2 - Do you currently use your wired network for file sharing, printing, etc ?

the problem may be with the Win98se + Netgear 311 Which "311" model do you have ?

Does the "311" adapter appear to be working, and show up in Win98se Device Manager ? Where did you get Win98se drivers ?

Does the PC "see" the SSID from the router/AP ?

Pen, Thanks for the input.

Do not know what 'Configure it wired through' Means. Can you clarify? Jim

So right but I won't learn anything.

Jim

ps56k,

Thank you for the interest

As to internet connection: comcast Cable to SB5051 Motorola to Linksys BEFSR41 router four port unit

The Wireless PCI Adapter is a NETGEAR WG311NA . The SE driver is on the CD. It is shown in the Dvice Manager All machines are set to share files and printers.

The PC connects RF wise but does not see SSID which is linksys.

Since I am assured that the old router will act as a access point, my problem are the old router settings and what port to plug the new router onto?

Jim

Sure, just plug into the router through an ethernet port to run the wireless setup. Follow the directions at the Linksys site. Setting up wireless devices is always best done hard wired as there are too many variables to do it wirelessly.

ahh - so much better when ALL the important details are added... the key point is that you HAVE a Linksys BEFSR41 router, and just want to use the BEFW11S4 as JUST an Access Point.

So learn something new that will actually work. Seriously, the support for
