Ok here is my issue.
For many reasons, I have to run a linksys router from my cable modem.
I was running an airport extreme for a while, with an airport express set up in WDS mode, and there were no problems and everything was working fine. The WDS mode was set up in order to have access to the ethernet port on the express in a remote location far from the router.
Now, I have to run my modem into a linksys WRT-54G.
I have turned off DHCP mode on my extreme, and have it plugged into the linksys router.
The extreme, plugged into the linksys router, is still broadcasting the internet signal fine, and my airport express that was set up in WDS mode, is also broadcasting the internet signal fine in the remote area.
The issue though, is that the ethernet port will not work now.
I suspect that due to the inability of the express to issue an IP address with the DHCP mode turned off, that there is no way I can use the ethernet port.
can anyone help?
hear is a diagram:
MODEM-->Linksys WRT54g-->Airport Extreme (hardwired into the WRT54g)-->Airport Express (with all WDS settings unchanged from when it was working before) == NO ethernet jack working on the express, but internet broadcasting is fine.
HELP!
