I have a 350 Client Adapter that connects fine to the AP at work. At home, I have a cable modem connected to my AP 1120. My problem is getting wireless access to the cable internet.
My computer internet settings work OK when I connect the cable modem directly to the ethernet port (settings are auto detect IP and at home I uncheck Use Proxy Server...at work I check Use Proxy Server).
I have tried both the settings static IP and DHCP enabled settings on the AP. In Static IP mode, my 350 Client is associated and I can configure AP. The profile I use is default SSID "tsunami" and default Access Point name "AP". Also when I ping the AP from IPSU, it tells me the IP address is 10.0.0.1 which is the default for that mode. The wireless client and AP association is excellent but I cannot access the internet...in other words when I open Internet Explorer my homepage cannot be found.
When I set the Enable DHCP on, I lose association to the AP. The IPSU also cannot detect IP...it says Device Does Not Answer. I have tried the Mac address for the AP's ethernet port and radio "port" with not luck. Since the cable modem is not a DHCP server, I don't think this is the way to go anyway, but I tried.
I think that I want to use the static IP, so the AP will act as a router and provide internet access to multiple PC at home. Once I have the client and AP associated, I tried restarting the cable modem so it would send a new IP address to AP. This doesn't work either.
I have noticed that directly wiring the cable to the PC ethernet port doesn't (always) work unless I restart the cable modem, I suspect this is because the cable needs to send a IP address again. But that doesn't solve the problem when i connect the cable modem to the AP.
Am I missing something? Does the AP serve as a router or must I buy more hardware. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil.
