Windows 10: Advice on WAP

Hoe this is the correct forum

have created WAPs from old routers in the past and worked well. Need to set one up for a family member, but require the WAP to have a strong a signal ( as the router ) as possible.

does it make a lot of difference if I use an old BT or other router, should I buy a new router and convert, or is it best to buy a purpose made WAP ?

many thanks

:)

 

WAP viewing settings


Restarted the laptop, made no difference tried all the suggested I.P addresses......

don’t see why....don’t suppose there is a way of finding out the I.P. Address of the WAP in case I remembered it wrong ?....don’t want to reset it really, it does work as a WAP with MY router and my friends....so,it’s configured ok, just need to access it to change the SSID.....can’t be that difficult can it ?

thanks

 

HELP - Connect router downstream of WAP to create a subnet?

OK, I'm working offsite. I am given access access to the internet via wireless "g". That's all dandy for my laptop, but:

I want to create a small local network (private to me) so that I can network 4 devices PC, printer, NAS and a small ISDN-over-Internet telephone.

Is it possible to get a regular WAP to access the main network, then configure a mini-network behind the WAP using NAT? Or do I run into all kinds of DHCP and NAT issues that will fail my setup?

Target:



Thanks for any help/suggestions.
