I’ve spent perhaps 7 or 8 hours trying to configure a Belkin Wireless Access point which I bought from PC World a few months back. I was advised that the ‘Bridging Mode’ which this access point had meant that I would be able to attach wired ethernet devices to my Wireless LAN with little fuss. Hmm… not so.
I finally discovered after much googling that the little Belkin box will never do the job, it’s apparently only compatable with Belkin routers and mine is a Linksys.
At the weekend I stuffed the little belkin box on eBay and ordered a Linksys Wireless Ethernet Bridge from dabs. It arrived 20 minutes ago and it’s already set up and working a treat.
The moral of the story. Never listen to a PC World sales man and always by same brand products when you’re dealing with Wireless networking. Unless of course you’re a complete geek and know what you’re doing.
