| 829376 | 2009-11-12 02:27:00 | Hope someone can help with a Mac question as I'm not familiar with Mac's at all. I've got a friend who has a 1x Mac and 1x PC. They have a Wireless Router (D-Link G604T) connected via LAN cable to the mac. They have a PC in another room which they wish to access the wireless network that I've setup for them. They own a Mac Airport device. Can I use this Mac Airport device via a LAN cable to the PC and connect to the wireless network? Thanks for help in advance. |

| 829378 | 2009-11-12 22:52:00 | Re read your post and I now think you are asking if you can use the Airport device to bridge to your D-link. This I am not sure of as never tried with Airport. I have done with other access points but were purchsed for this purpose and designed to do so. Cheapest option would be to buy a USB wireless device for the P if the airport will not work. | berryb (99) | ||
| 829379 | 2009-11-13 01:59:00 | Yeah, I want to use the Airport device as the PC's wireless network card to connect to the wireless LAN on the D-Link....... | GR8Metal (14133) | ||
