Connecting wireless to wired network in order to share internet connection...
Ok, I have tried this before and sort of got it to work but im not sure how and cannot do it anymore.
I am using a Belkin F5D7632uk4 wireless router. My laptop upstairs connects to the wireless network and can access the internet. In the room next to me I have a desktop pc. I know that I could install a wireless NIC in the desktop and connect to existing network, but I have no money for one right now. So instead, I have an ethernet cable and another F5D7632uk4 router handy.
I want to use my spare router as a wired bridge between the laptop and PC so that the PC can receive internet from the laptop (which in turn is receiving internet from the wireless network. How should I go about doing this?
Please, please help me! It would be really appreciated!!!!
So far I have turned off DHCP on the downstairs router. On my laptop I have set the IP address to be 192.168.2.3. So its a static IP. What should my next step be? Connect my spare router to the laptop via ethernet? Then connect the router to the desktop? Then what? Please help!!!
