Network Question?
« on: April 09, 2012, 01:58:08 PM »
I have this router, the DIR-655, hooked up to my main computer and my modem. If I have another Belkin Wireless N+ router, could I connect the Belkin to another PC and get internet access that way from the DIR-655? If so, what settings would need to be done on the Belkin?

You could try this for the Belkin: Turning a router into an AP.

Okay, so it could work like that? I'm curious because if I can do this, then I don't have to buy a wireless network PCI card.

If you choose to turn the Belkin into an AP. It will still have to be wired to the 655 router to get Internet connections. And you can connect any LAN cables to the back LAN ports of the Belkin if it has them.
