Firstly, I've never done this before so I'm very much new to the idea of bridging/repeating.
I have a router up several floors, and down below I have some computers that are networked together with a Netgear switch (model unknown at present). What I would like to do is take out the Netgear router, and in place a Tenda 311R+ router which I have accquired. I then want the Tenda to pick up the Superhub's wireless signal and transmit this to the wired computers, giving them internet access.
So, currently in place:
Upstairs - Superhub, wireless, internet access.
Downstairs - Netgear switch, to which several computers are wired to.
What I want:
Upstairs - Superhub, wireless, internet access.
Downstairs: Tenda 311R+ router receiving the wireless signal from the Superhub, and broadcasting the internet from the Superhub to the wired computers.
The Tenda router does have some WDS settings: Lazy, Bridge and Repeater. I've put the MAC address and security settings of the Superhub (picked up with InSSIDer) into the settings, but no go.
Help!
