The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Setting up Linksys wireless router as a pass through?

Asked by ctamucci in Wireless Technologies, Networking Hardware, Network Management

Tags: Linksys, Wireless Router, WRT54GS V.7

This should be easy but for some reason cannot get the configuration correct. Our Internet router handles DHCP and assigns 10.1.10.x addresses. I have a Linksys wireless router that I want to plug int the same switch that the Internet router is plugged into. I just want the wireless to act as an access point so wireless devices can get Internet and access to servers etc.. Can't seem to set this up correctly. I logged into the wireless router and turned off DHCP. After I do that and try to renew the IP on the PC plugged into the router, it says it cannot find the DHCP server. If DHCP is on then the PC hooked up to the router gets a 192.168.x address and can get to the Internet but in now on its own network segment. I tried turning off DHCP on the router and changing the mode from Gateway to Router (as it is not acting as a gateway...) and still unable to grab a 10.x address with the PC plugged into it. I want to assign the rounter a static IP so I can always find it to admin it. I assigned it a 10.x address. Since that is coming from the Internet Router, the wireless router sees that as the external or internet address. From what I understand I cannot assign the router's internal IP to the same subnet or else it cannot properly route. Is that correct? This router use to have machines plugged into it and it was working fine. Once it is setup as an access point there was no way to login to admin it so I reset it. Now I cannot get it functioning correctly again.

Thanks for any help.
