My main router is a linksys 8-port wired. i would like to add D-Link DI-514 as wireless access point only for my laptops that have wireless capability. found a tutorial
http://www.tweaktown.com/guides/1575/3/using_an_old_router_as_a_diy_wireless_access_point/index.html
that seems more focused on converting an old linksys wireless router.
or the problem could be: (1) my laptops (ibm thinkpad R-31 and X-40) are a bit older and have wireless specs that are not compatible with the D-Link; (2) i'm doing something else wrong and just don't know what i'm doing.
just in case my laptop specs are not compatible, a friend gave me a belkin wireless network card (F5D8010).
any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. Connect a pc to the router using a cable (wireless won't work)
2. Open a browser and type in: 192.168.0.1
3. Login with username: admin password: (blank)
4. Browse around the menus until you find a setting similar to "use as access point" and select it.
5. Save settings and log out.
6. Connect a cable from a port on your main router to this router's internet/wan port.
