I got a Belkin wireless router (got it for $10), that I am trying to connect to my wired network. I just can't get it to work.

The belkin has an option in the settings to make it become a wireless access point. When you do that, you must specify an IP address for the router to access it. I think what this does it make it seem like it is another computer with a normal IP?

I have it wired into a switch (which is conencted to my wired router). I don't have it in the uplink port, I have it on one of the numbered ports. I don't know which port to put the cable into on the wireless router.....I tried putting it in the numbered port, and the WAN, but neither work.

I am trying to connect to the wireless router by being connected to the wired router., but can't pull up the settings screen, it just times out :(
 
I called tech support and they were pretty helpfull. I got it working, finally....
