Wireless Question

[Christian Csar]

So your current configuration has your Cisco DSL Modem connected with an 
Ethernet cord to wireless router number 1, then you have wireless router 
2 approximately 10 feet away connected via an Ethernet cord to your 
computer?

And you want to wireless router 1 to connect to wireless router 2 via 
wireless?

If you want your computer to be able to access the internet through your 
DSL connection via wireless, then you should only need a wireless card 
in your computer which can then connect via wireless to router 1.

Your routers probably are attempting to assign ip addresses via DHCP in 
the 192.168.0.x and 192.168.2.x ranges. For security reasons the default 
setting on the router is most likely to deny access to the router setup 
page unless it is from an ip address in the range it assigns. You could 
probably change the settings in NetworkManager to be automatically 
assigned an ip using DHCP, in general a static IP would have been 
assigned to you by your ISP.

I do not know how, or if it is possible for wireless router 2 to get 
internet access via router 1. But it is unlikely to be the best 
solution. If your computer is a desktop, then you will probably get the 
best connection by simply running a cord from either your modem, or 
router 1 to your computer, as wireless is in general less reliable.
