Re: what can i do with my old 2wire dsl modem?

There is not much to do to use the 2wire as a access point
There are two 2wire pages where the changes are made use the one you like
192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C06
192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=J09

On either page select Configure manually
The Router Address is 192.168.1.254
The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
You can use whatever router address and subnet mask you want
Make sure the Enable DHCP check mark box is empty
Then click the save or submit button to enable the changes
Below is a example of the area where the changes are made

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but it doesn't resolve the IP (limited or no connectivity)

Sounds like the 2wire is setup right for the wifi link

The laptop's wired adapter has a mac address
The laptop's wireless adapter has a mac address

The cable modem may be configured to give a ip address to only one mac address

You may be able to reboot the cable modem and it will give a ip address to a device with a different mac address
