dlink 624 - dlink 800ap

The 800AP isn't a client, it's either an AP or a repeater, except that it doesn't work as a repeater...

You need a client (card, adapter, USB dongle) for your computer.

an access point is meant to be wired to your router for extended coverage area of your network. If your AP can be set to repeater mode, for extended range, or client mode, for using as a wirless adapter, then you should beable to connect wirelessly. Check with the D-Link web site to see if your hardware supports either or both of those modes.

This is the description on the Dlink site

---------------- The DWL-800AP+ can be configured to perform as a wireless access point or as a repeater to another wireless access

----------------

Does it mean that I cannot use the kind of connection I need? I have to change the 800Ap with another product?

Thanks a lot Bilo

That shows that you can not use it as a client....

You will have to buy a USB adapter PCI adapter or a pcmcia card adapter to use as your client connection.

Thank you.

I bought the wrong thing. What I needed was the 810Ap NOT the 800AP

Thanks again for your answer
