Turning a router into an AP. Disclaimer: Using a router turned in to a Bridge or Relay is not sanctioned nor supported by D-Link for certain model router.
D-Link does not support or develop any firmware modifications for there routers that have a Bridge or Relay feature. This process described here is solely of end user experiences and observations. As such, router owners who choose to use this procedure do at there own risk. If you are connecting the D-Link router to another host router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before connecting the router to your network:• Disable UPnP™• Disable DHCP• Disable WAN dependent features: Virtual Server, Application and Port Forward Rules, Access Control and Web Filters, SPI and Firewall, WISH and WPS.• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
Routers with WEP enabled issue - Internet Tablet Talk Forums. Make your Arch Linux a Bluetooth Access Point - OSNews.com. Following my earlier article about creating a Bluetooth access point with your OS, here is my quick guide how to do just that with Arch Linux.
You will need two Bluetooth-enabled devices to start with, and some patience as setting up Bluetooth is problematic on all OSes (each one with its own quirks). I am using the AIPTEK BTuoi USB-based Bluetooth dongle, which is Class I. Class I means that the device can send/receive up to 100 meters, Class II means 10 meters and Class III, 1 meter. Most integrated BT modules on laptops/PDAs are Class II, up to 10 meters, so if you want the best performance for the Access Point we will try to create here, buy a Linux-supported Class I dongle (about $35).
