I have a Cradlepoint router that has no Ethernet ports and I want to be able to go online without buying wireless adapters for my various "boxes". I have an unused old Belkin router and want to know if it's possible to use it.
Connect two routers wirelessly?

RIt is possible if you can set the Belden up as a wireless repeater bridge. It certainly will be easier if you can flash the Belden with DD-WRT firmware which has all the optional settings needed for this configuration. Check the DD-WRT website to determine if you can install their firmware on your Belden router.
I had a Belkin router and am pretty sure it can work as a wireless access point out of the box with its own software.

And I was correct. One of the settings is... Use Belkin Router as an access point...

In my pre-Airport Extreme days, I did this when testing out a different router.

Ok I've finally had time to mess around with this & I'm not sure what to do after turning on the access point. So what do I do next?
