asked on adding wireless router to a network
Added a wireless linksys n router to an existing windows server 2008 network with an rvs400 router. Want to give users right to access files. However, the router assigns a 192.168.1.1 ip address. the network is on a 10.0.0.0 code. If i try to change the dhcp on the wireless router it gives me and error that there is an illegal value.
how can i make it so users can access the server via wireless.

The best way is to use a Wireless access point - not a home router. there is probably a way to do it with what you have but it's not what you should be using.

Have you tried to disable the DHCP on the router and let the DHCP from the Windows server assign IP addresses.
1. most routers are also acces points (AP)
2. most store that have wireless routers also have APs, you just have to ask for one
an AP is a wireless router without the routing functions enabled

Your best bet is to get it online (provantage, CDW, tiger, etc...) - the local best buy typically won't have it. Remember, it will be called and access point - not a router. Linksys, netgear, etc.. make cheapie Access points as well as their more well known routers.
