I'm stuck using a hotspot for a few days, and I only have one wireless dongle to share amongst three computers - none of which have built in wi-fi.
I do however have a few modem/routers lying around such as a Netgear DG834G. I am hoping to use it as a repeater for the hotspot and simultaneously be a switch for the other computers to share the connection with.
I've been through the Netgear FAQ, though it seems to take a detour at some point away from what I'm trying to do.
So far I've
-Matched SSDI and keypass the same as the hot spot
-Put the Netgear on the hotspot's subnet and also changed it's IP accordingly
-Disabled DHCP
-Enabled MAC bridging using the remote address(e.g. the hotspot)
-Rebooted
Unfortunately when I try this, the computer that's still connected to the router (the one I am applying settings with), shows an error on the LAN connection.
I was hoping by making the amendments above, the LAN connection would treat itself as a wireless AP and start searching for local connections.
