567994 2007-07-11 01:50:00 Can this 3Com OfficeConnect ADSL wireless firewall router be connected to the Dlink DSL-502T ADSL Router and use it (3Com) as an Access point? If it can be used, how do I set it up?

I tried to connect it with a Cat5e cable linking lthe 2 routers but it doesn't work - can't access the Internet.

567995 2007-07-11 03:35:00 Is the 3Com unit and ADSL modem as well, I don't think it will work without some heavy configuring. why do you want to hook those 2 up that way any how?

cheers

The 3Com is indeed a ADSL modem as well. The reason for doing this is that this 3Com was given to me and I want to make use of it as a wireless access point from my room so that I can connect my laptop to the Internet without interferring with the 'main' network.

I saw this configuration sometime ago in a friend's house who uses a Dynalink ADSL modem (basement)+ this same 3Com wireless ADSL Router which located upstairs.
