I've been searching google and the forums for a while looking for any type of relation to the problems I am having.
I am attempting to attach three routers in our store but I am having the hardest time getting a wireless signal out of them. I will explain my process below.
Our store has a domain server that assigns DNS and DHCP. I connected the router to a pc and changed the settings to disable the DHCP and changed the IP address to an unused ip on our network ( 10.1.1.7 ).
(I am connecting my router ap to a switch located on the first floor of the store)
When a PC is connected to the router it grabs an IP from the server and works great but the wireless doesn't seem to be doing to well. I cannot connect to the AP at all. If I do connect it doesn't let me connect to the internet. I have tried to assign a static ip but I always run into an issue with connecting to my router.
The problem I am having with one of my other routers is that it seems to love to take down my filesharing on the server. (what a pain)
Any assistance would be appreciated and I apologize in advance if this doesnt make sense.. I'm running off no sleep and half a can of red bull.
