Belkin F7D2301 & Airport Xtreme BS (4th gen) client configuration
I m now using a Belkin F7D2301 v1 as my main wireless router since my Airport Xtreme's WAN port got fried in a recent thunderstorm.
The LAN & WLAN on the Airport however works fine so I want to use it to enable my Oppo Bluray & Onkyo receiver access the internet for bluray and internet radio
The options are:
1) Join a wireless network
2) Participate in a WDS network.
I tried both options and in the end the AXBS glowed green, showing as if everything was normal. However I could not access the internet when i tested by connecting my mac (wired connection) and opening a browser window.
On checking my ethernet settings on my mac, it showed it was getting a self assigned IP and would not be able to connect to the Internet.
Where am i going wrong? My belkins IP is 192.168.2.1 - should the Airports IP be in the same range, some later number?
Should i be using WDS instead? Would greatly appreciate any help to get these components connect to the Internet.
thanks
