| Use my wireless router as a wireless client?
As in the title.
I have a wireless network set up, everything seems ok.
I want to change things around a bit, I want to start using a different (Linksys WRT54g V2) wireless router as the wireless client.
Is it possible to use the Linksys as the recipient of the shared internet connection?
I have looked through the screens in the configuration, and looked through the FAQs here, but I have managed to go no-where. One problem may be that I have my terminology wrong.
Right now, the network is like this:
ISP supplied VDSL modem
to
ISP supplied Router with Voip
to
-Different Voip adaptor
-PC 1
-PC 2--ICS?--ASUS wireless card----via wireless link to--- a notebook pc
I want to use the Linksys to connect to the wireless card in PC 2. Is it possible to use the router in this fashion?

Read this article - it shows a couple ways to setup the Linksys VoiP router - both behind your own router and in front of your network (your network description). You may not have a Linksys but the setup guide may help you figure out what you can and cant do.
Ultimately, your WRT54G/GS with a firmware like DD-WRT connected to your ISP (cable or DSL modem) is the best setup. The QoS will be far superior to what is in your ISP provided equipment.

I will try to clarify.
I am trying to connect from PC 2 to a new PC that I will call PC 3.
The connection to PC 2 is wired. The wireless link starts at PC 2.
The current wireless link (PC 2 to notebook PC) works without problems.
I want to avoid buying a wireless card, and stuffing it in the only spare PCI slot in PC3.

| I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but it sounds like you just want to use the WRT54G as a wireless card in PC3?
If that's what you're looking for, it can be done pretty easily. Many of the WRT54G third-party firmwares support "client mode", which will allow for the wireless router to connect to a wireless network. But, in client mode, it will not repeat the wireless signal, so you'll need to wire PC3 into the router.

If anyone has a suggestion (link) for a firmware with client mode and a how-to, I would appreciate it. I have V2 of the router.

1 edit | Here's a guide I found, via Google: »www.engadget.com/2005/05/24/how-···nternet/
It has a nice flash tutorial too.
Two firmwares I know of that have the client mode option are DD-WRT and Sveasoft Alchemy. Both should be free. As always, flash at your own risk  |

Alright!
Thanks!
The flash process wass about 10x easier than I imagined, totally painless.
I went with the sveasoft firmware, set it up using the guide in the link provided by Sw Bill.
The settings even worked on the first try!
