Alrighty, here's the setup. I have an a-typical wireless router hooked to my cable internet connection. Everything works fine with it.

I have a computer downstairs that I'd like to connect. I have a wireless access point just lying around. Is there any way I can connect the wireless access point to the PC downstairs, and have it talk to the wireless network provided by the router? What 'mode' or whatever do I have to set the wireless access point in? I'm new to this. Thanks.
 
botht he router and wap will have to support point-to-point bridging and as far as i know, no routers support ptp...so youd need another wap at the router end to complete the bridge. assuming the one you own already supports ptp.
 
So unless they support Point to Point, they can only be used as wireless "servers", not as "clients" per se? In the same sense that a wireless access card would be used as a "client"? Is that a fair analogy?
