Is it going to make a difference, because that page is hard to understand
because the TD 8810 is not as user friendly as the Linksys. (it's a piece of
crap if you want my opinion)
I set this up myself without help from info I got off the net, I have never
seen a wifi connected computer before I got this going and it took me days.
If you could copy this and fill in the router name instead of first router
second router?
First Step: Plug a single computer to the second Router (make sure that
the computer is configured to obtain DHCP automatically from the Router),
change the IP address of the Router so that it's in the same subnet as the
main Router (the one that is connected to the Internet Modem); give it an IP
that doesn’t conflict with the main router's base IP address, or the DHCP
server range. This will ensure that you can reach the admin server of the
old router from any LAN machine, and that the Wireless Clients IPs are
assigned correctly.
Example:
- Main Router’s base address is 192.168.1.1, with a DHCP server range of
192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150
- Set the Cable/DSL Router to (the one you're using as an Access Point) base
address to any IP address between 192.168.1.151 to 192.168.1.250
Second Step: Switch Off the DHCP on the Wireless Cable/DSL Router, and set
to Off any filters or special settings that is On if it is used as the main
Router.
Plug the Wireless Router to the main Router. Regular Port to Regular Port,
using crossover cable (or straight patch if one port is an Uplink).
It might be easier
