I have a Netgear DG834GT ADSL Router.
This has Wireless capability but it doesnt reach the other end of the house very effectively.
I happen to have an older Belkin G Wireless Access Point (model #F5D7130) that I used with my old router (that didnt have wireless).
Looking at the instructions on the Belkin AP, it shows how to use it as a 'range extender', but they explain specifically how to set it up to do this when the Router is also a Belkin device.
Should it work with a Netgear? Is there anything special one has to do? The manual goes on about allowing MAC addresses, but I dont see how thaty applies if you arent filtering MAC addresses.
Is it just a question of matching the channel, SSID and pre-shared key (WPA)?
Thanks in advance
