Hi, I'm new to wireless networking and this discussion group, so bear with me! I just
got my wireless network upgraded to .11g (no thanks to tech support!) I have a new
Lynksys WRT54gs router setup as a DHCP server to two wireless laptops: 1) brand new
Toshiba Tecra running Win XP with a built-in Intel(R)/Pro Wireless 2200BG Network
connection, and 2) old Toshiba Satellite running Win Me connected with a Belkin
F5D7010 wireless notebook adapter. They are now running flawlessly at 54mps, SSID
broadcast disabled, MAC filtering enabled, WEP 128 encryption enabled. However, I
understand that Win Me will not support WPA, so I was going to daisy-chain a cheap
Belkin router to my network and have the Win Me laptop run from that using WEP, and
have the new XP box run from the Linksys with WPA encryption. Can this be done? The
routers would necessarily be in close proximity. If this can be done, would I split
the ethernet coming off the modem and connect to the two routers, or connect
the Belkin to the Lyknsys via one of the 4 ports and disable DHCP from the Belkin?
Thanks for any help.
Colleen
