Trying to improve wireless performance, and having a single wireless router stuck in the basement surrounded by concrete and steel shelving wasn't working well.
So tonight installed a simple wired router, so the setup is:
Modem -->Wired Router ->8-port gigabit switch
I then reconfigured a DIR-857 as an AP, connected through the switch.
Wired router is 192.168.0.1, DHCP range is .100 to .199
DIR-857 has DHCP disabled, set as 192.168.0.2
Tried to connect with a laptop. It can see the AP, and watching the wired router it assigned a DHCP address (.104) to it.
All PCs are running Windows 7, and can see each other in the Windows "Network map" thing.
Problem is the laptop can see the AP, but not the internet
And then to make matters worse, the AP kicks other PCs off the internet as well.
HELP!
