Hello, Have a pc on an adsl modem on the cable, works fine. Have just got a Buffalo Air Station WBR-G54 wireless router so thought I'd try to get wifi going on with my laptop so I could use the wired pc and the wifi laptop on the internet together. Ran a cable from one of the lan ports on my existing adsl modem/router into the wan port on the buffalo, seems fine so far, lights up and everything. Search for wireless networks with the laptop and there it is, broadcasting its ssid (which is its lan mac address). Try to connect but I never get an ip. Limited or no connection. Can't connect to the config page of the buffalo on its alleged default ip of 192.168.11.1, tried with both the laptop and the pc. Don't really understand how this should work anyway? How can I get my laptop to properly connect to the buffalo router? I have to access its config page somehow? I ran a utility that came with it that searches for the wireless router, it said it had found it and been successful (after making me disable wireless zero) and said it left a short cut to the config page on the desktop, this shortcut pointed to 0.0.0.0 which obviously didn't work. What should I be doing?
Hmm, strange questions. Which pc and which router are you referring to? The initial pc (not the laptop) is connected to the inital dsl modem/router (which is an Origo ASR-8400), this router has the adsl signal coming into it into the dsl port, it works fine giving internet connectivity to the inital pc and/or the laptop. The wifi router (buffalo) is connected by an ethernet cable from its WAN port to one of the LAN ports on the Origo router. I can see the ssid of the buffalo wifi router but cannot connect to it (can't get a valid IP, only end up with APIPA address). Internet access is fine, whether I have internet access or not is irrelevant, I should still be able to connect to the wireless routers network and get a valid IP.
