Ok, so I bought two wireless access points so I can send a signal from one to the other and get internet in another building. I had a tech guy bring them home and set everything up and get them communicating. He did that and said all I needed to do was hook them into my network and set up the IP on my computer. The first one is hooked up to the internet now and I have the second WAP54G connected to a switch and then to my computer. I set up the IP address how he told me to, but I'm not able to get any kind of connection. It's saying that it's connected physically, but I can't ping it or anything. What could be the problem?

Can you please post the following information for me:

-Router IP
-Router subnet mask
-Access Point IP addresses
-Access Point default gateways
-Access Point subnet masks
-Above mentioned computer IP address
-Computer default gateway
-Computer subnet mask

Ok, update, I'm able to ping both access points from computer #2, but not computer #1 (although I was able to a few minutes ago...). That's weird because computer #1 is directly connected to the router which connects to the access point. The problem now is I can't connect to the router from computer #2, which is weird because I can ping the access point that is directly connected to it.

Router IP: 192.168.1.1
Router subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Access Point IP addresses: 192.168.1.245, 192.168.1.246
Access Point subnet masks: Not sure (probably just 255.255.255.0)
Computer #1 IP: 192.168.1.108
Computer #2 IP: 192.168.1.150
Computer default gateways: 192.168.1.1
Computer subnet masks: 255.255.255.0

OK, please confirm that I am understanding your network. Is this how it is set up?


R----AP1 ) ) ) ) ) AP2---S----Host 2

Host 1

R = Router
AP = Access Point
-- & | = Ethernet
) ) = Wireless

And Host 2 can ping both AP1 and AP2 but not the router or Host 1, and Host 1 can ping the router but neither access point?

Ok, I figured it out. Faulty wiring, haha. Replaced the ethernet cords and now everythings working fine.

Haha forgot to ask you to check the cables :P.

Can a mod please mark this resolved?
