2 7300N on network to add wired connection in living room
Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 1:28 pm
Hi,
I have a 7300 as my router. Recently bought another one thinking I could get it to communicate over wireless with the router in order to add extra wired ports for my living room (bluray player, TV, Sky+ box etc).
I read the manual and tried to set it up via WPS but can't seem to get it to work. I am a networking novice but can follow instructions...
For WPS I set the main router to registrar/unconfigured and the new 7300 to enrollee/unconfigured. Both obviously have WPS enabled. I have also triple-checked I have the right PIN number. When I press start on the registrar router UI should I then just press the physical WPS button on the enrollee router? Or do I need to access the UI for the enrollee and hit the start button there? OR... Should I be using the dedicated hardware WPS buttons? If so, how do I use them? Do I just push them or do I need to push and hold them until the WPS light starts flashing?
I have tried several combinations of the above all to no avail
My ISP is Sky (I hacked my password and used the original 7300N to replace the Netgear b/g router that came from Sky) and I am running windows 7
Any help gratefully received. I absolutely love Billion products compared to the other brands I have used previously and I would really like this to work!
