Not sure if my terminology is right but heres the thing,

We have a fairly complex home spec simple 10/100 network covering a few buildings. Basically theres a router at the main line, then a selection of switches linking the buildings. In the buildings are wireless routers working as AP's.

In order for the wireless AP's to do their job, ie supply t'internet to residents, they are attached to the network via their WAN sockets and assigned static ip's on the main subnet (192.168.11.x) Such as 192.168.2.x and 3.x respectivley.

This however means that wireless clients cannot connect and share media as their ip's are dhcp assigned 2.x and 3.x extentions. Not a problem in the main but i do have a single wireless client that i would like to be able to connect to media, printing etc on the 11.x network. Is there a way to do this? Its odd as i can use remote desktop between the nets fine!

Cheers guys
 
if i do not use the WAN port on the AP's then wireless traffic is not given access to the gateway. What i mean to say is that if i only use the LAN/Switch ports then wireless connections cannot recieve IP from the primary gateway, they work fine with manual IP's but that is no good for public access. If i try to assign an ip in the range 11.x to a wireless client it cannot access the internet (presumably since there is no bridge between the lan and wan on the AP however i dont seem to be able to do this
