Linksys router used as WAP? perfb 04-22-2005

have an old Linksys wireless router BEFW11S4 that would just like to
use as a WAP to extend a home LAN.

So I reset it, and plug it in to a PC via one of the 4 ports, but cant
browse to 192.168.1.1 to get to setup screen, or even ping this
address, yet green lights are on and blinking to show some traffic.

I know this router was working back when. What could be the reason
that the 192.168.1.1 page doesnt come up? Does it need a WAN
connection? Should it show with only a LAN connection?

More then likely its you NIC cards cofiguration. What is the IP and subnet
of your NIC? Or it could be that your using a crossover cable.

- make sure the LAN IPs of the routers are NOT the same
(eg 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3 and so on)
- expanding the network is done by connecting LAN ports of your routers,
don't use the WAN port of the "extending" router

It's possible your routers are using identical LAN addresses, so there's a
conflict in that way
If the routers LAN addresses are very different (192.168.0.1 and
192.168.1.1) then they are too different, so it might be hard to find it
Only enable ONE routers DHCP function
