I had my computer connected directly to the MN-500 when I
configured mine. I have the MN-700 going to a numbered
port on the MN-500. Make sure you change the IP address
of the MN-500. That's what I did and I can see all my
internal network, but I can't see the Internet yet. Still
waiting for some help on that. I've done it all wired
only, but the other thing I think you need to do for the
wireless part is to set up the access point on a different
channel than the MN-700 so machines within range of both
aren't confused. My guess is this essentially sets up the
MN-500 as a seperate second wireless network in your
house. If you use WEP, you'll have to load the encryption
code on your PCs just like you did for the MN-700 even if
you use the same 26 character code.
Good luck. If you solve the internet connection problem
let me know.
