Hello,<br />
<br />
I would like to configure an access point as a wireless client and use it to access a wireless network that is quit a distance from my laptop.<br />
<br />
I have 2 dlink APs, one is connect to the office LAN and also acts as a DHCP server for anyone connectin to the office LAN. The other is in my house 1 block away and I would like to use it to access the office LAN (in Wireless Client mode). I am doing this because the aerial on the AP is strong that the aerial on the laptop and hence the office signal will be easily detected.<br />
<br />
I have gone through the Dlink website and seen their FAQ. It doesnt explain how you configure the laptop to access the wireless client AP. I have connected the WC-AP to my laptop using ethernet.<br />
<br />
Kindly assist.<br />
Edd.

Configure Dlink Access Point as Wireless Client (HOWTO)

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
