So if I set my BELKIN F5D6130 802.11b Wireless Network Access Point in
Client mode and connect it via wire to my desktop, it should communicate with my
wireless router ? Does I need to specify an IP adress specifically for my access
point ?
I just want to connect my desktop computer in another room without having to buy
a PCI wireless card and instead to use my Belkin access point.
