by Greywolf | | | on smc SMC2755W access point and SMC2735W nic tried to select mac access control, shared, and 128bit. couldn't connect. went thru several layers of support at smc who first thought it was a driver problem, but then told me you have to choose "open" if you use mac control.
(btw, then called linksys about their wap 11 and wpc11 ver 1, and they confirmed that same deal: cant have "shared" w "mac" . they thought that was better security than "shared" without mac.

A wireless LAN does not require lining up devices for line of sight transmission like IrDA. Wireless access points (base stations) are connected to an Ethernet hub or server and transmit a radio frequency over an area of several hundred to a thousand feet which can penetrate walls and other non-metal barriers. Roaming users can be handed off from one access point to another like a cellular phone system. Laptops use wireless network cards that plug into an existing pcmcia slot or that are self contained on PC cards, while stand-alone desktops and servers use plug-in cards (ISA, PCI, etc.).

by Greywolf | | | Configuring the New SMC Router as Primary
[Modem]-----[New SMC Router]----------[old Router]
1. Before you disconnect the Old Router, from the Modem. Disable the DHCP on the OLD Router.
2. Change the LAN IP address of the Old Router to be in the same range of the New SMC Router. As the default IP address of SMC Router is 192.168.2.1, it is preferred to change the Old Router IP to 192.168.2.2 (any such IP which is away from the default DHCP scope)
3. Disconnect the Old Router from the Modem. Then connect the New SMC Router to the Modem.
4. Connect the Main Computer to the SMC Router, and configure the Router using the Installation CD or by Web Management Screen using Internet Explorer. (As mentioned above, default IP Address to logon is 192.168.2.1)
5. Then connect both the Routers using LAN Ports. DO NOT Use the WAN Port of the Old Router. Some time you may require a cross-over cable to connect these ports.
Configuring the New SMC Router behind the Main Router
[Modem]---------[old Router]-----------[New SMC Router]
1. Before you connect the SMC Router to the network, Connect a Wired Computer to the SMC Router.
2. Logon to the Router's Web Management Screen. (Default IP to logon is 192.168.2.1)
3. Under the "LAN Settings", disable the DHCP Option.
4. Change the LAN IP address to be in the same range of the Old Main Router. For e.g, if you have a Netgear Router with IP as 192.168.0.1, then change the LAN IP of the New SMC Router as 192.168.0.2 (any such IP which is away from the DHCP scope) A list of default IP addresses of some SOHO Router are provided below for your reference
5. The Router would reboot with new IP address. Then connect both the Routers using LAN Ports. DO NOT Use the WAN Port of the SMC Router. Some time you may require a cross-over cable to connect these ports.
List of default IP addresses of some SOHO Routers
SMC 192.168.2.1
Linksys 192.168.1.1
Netgear 192.168.0.1
Dlink 192.168.0.1
Belkin 192.168.2.1
Zyxel 192.168.1.1
Westell 192.168.1.1

1. Connect a Computer to the Router (preferably use LAN to connect)
2. Logon to the SMC Router and Disable the DHCP under the LAN Settings.
3. Change the LAN IP address to be in the same range as the main Router. For e.g., if you use another SMC Router as main Router with IP as 192.168.2.1, then change this Wireless Router to be 192.168.2.2. This would ensure you to manage the Wireless Router without any problem.
4. Connect this Wireless Router with the Main Router using LAN ports. Check if the LED for the LAN port connected to the Main Router is lit, if not try with a Cross over cable.
Place the Router in appropriate place, and get a seamless wireless connection.
