Depends on what you want to do. Most access points seem to be setup to allow multiple computers to share an internet connection. If that's all you want to do, it should be pretty much plug and play.
I just set one up where I have a linux box connected to the internet and all of the other computers using that machine as a gateway, firewall, etc. That can get a little more complex with access point setup.
Hmm, I will have a Linux box connected to the Internet. Then a cable will be connected to that A/P to give the other computers access to the Internet. That's all I want to do. :-)
I guess what is needed now would be the make/model of the access point so we can provide further info for setup.
It's an Excel IEEE 802.11b wireless access point. Is that enough for more info? I appreciate your ( and others) help on this. Maybe it is easy to do but I have been bitten a couple of times when I bought new HW and it just didn't work, or maybe it was to complicated for me. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south.
