dlink 624 - dlink 800ap

Hi to everybody

I am trying to connect two computer using the above products.
The first one is connected to the 624 and the second to the 800Ap (as
access point)

I can configure (using the cable) the two wireless products, but I am not
able to connect them via wireless

If I connect via cable the 800AP to the 624 No problem, but if I try solo
wireless, I am not able to connect the two computers.


schema


Linux Box --(cable)--> DI624 -----(wireless) ---- 800AP --(cable)-->PC

no working at all
I've tried with DHCP on, DHCP off, WEP on/off ...

Any hint ?

Thanks a lot

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

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.

thank, thank you very much for your help ....

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
