Hi, I need help with setting up my router in client mode. I am trying to do a DIY range extender with a FON-like router (it was formerly a "pineapple" running openwrt with jaserger) my router only has one LAN (combo WAN/LAN port) and one radio, so I was going to use a Belkin N150 router (with stock firmware) as the secondary AP. My Main AP is currently a 2WIRE supplied by AT&T with no password. I need to know how to set up the router in client mode and then bridge the WLAN and LAN, also I need to have my main AP continue to provide DHCP and it should resolve the DNS 192.168.1.65. My subnet is 255.255.255.0 and IP of 192.168.1.xxx with the router at 192.168.1.254.

Also as a side note I was going to configure the MAC on the Belkin router as the same as my main AP to provide seamless transfer between access points any comments on this?

Thanks
Riley
