Hi. My first thread and I am not a computer techie so PLEASE bear with me if come across as a bit of a novice.

My CURRENT wireless router is in my home and is a Belkin G (F5D7633-4). I want to extend this wireless network to an outside office and have run about 15 metres of ethernet cable in anticipation of being able to connect from this G router. At the other end, (in the outside office) I want to install a Belkin N wireless router (F5D8233) and convert it to an access point and connect via the ethernet cable I have already laid. When operational I will be using a PC with Windows XP and also, eventually Linux

Does anyone know how to change the settings of the Belkin 'N' router to MAKE it into a wireless access point.

Don't think it's relevant but in my home I run a Mac with OSX.

Many thanks, and please, if anyone responds think of me as a beginner and keep instructions simple!!  When you setup the second router, connect some computer to it and NAVIGATE to http://192.168.2.1/ on that computer. Login to the configuration page and click "Use as Access Point" frmo the navigation menu at the left. Then just click enable.

It's that easy.Thanks TechGeek. I've managed it!! Not quite as simple for me as probably for you, I had to reset the router I wanted to use and assign it a different IP address but everything seems to now work perfectly.

Many thanks
