This may be a very simple question, but how exactly do I “interface” or configure a Linksys wireless router with our RouterOS v3.9x gateway machine.
I have fiber coming into my hanger which gets converted via media converters and then runs into a Linux box with RouterOS installed on it. There are 4 NIC’s installed in the Linux box with one accepting the incoming feed and a 2nd one that goes out to a 16 port HP switch and from there to my LAN (all hardwired).
The outgoing NIC which feeds the switch is 192.168.0.1, so all the other wired machines are static assigned with .2, .3, etc.
I have read though the manual, but cannot find what I need. I know there is wireless support, but I think that is for on board PCI/PCMCIA cards and adapters. Since I have two other NIC’s assigned to nothing, is it possible just to plug the WAN side of the Linksys WiFi router into one of those cards and assign IP’s for the NIC and the WAN side of the LInksys or is it a bit more complicated than that.
I was given the Linksys and only wish to use it with my laptop, so i just need a static route or something to that effect.
