Need help configuring WPA enterprise for linksys.

[btcomm1]

Ok so I have a linksys router and I have a WAP54g linksys wireless access point. I read this article

http://www.amazon.com/gp/richp...fullview/1NZA81HP757TD

He goes into detail which is nice, however in the last step he doesn't go into enough detail I think.

He says he sets the wireless router into Wpa enterprise mode and thats it.

First off, what settings do you set for enterprise mode on the router, like what do you put for the radius server address?

I'm assuming the pre shared key you just make up like normal WPA and then how do you configure the wap54g access point to authenticate with the router wirelessly? I guess if you get the wpa right the Wap54g will automatically find the ssid and or mac address of the router and start extending the range?

Not to be a smart ass, but for radius server, you put the address of whatever radius server you are going to be using for authentication.

Ok well this is what I did, could you tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I want to extend the range of the router, I configured wpa enterprise with radius server 192.168.1.1 since that is the routers IP. Is that right or wrong? I wonder because when I set it up like that none of the comptuters could even connect to the router anymore. They would fail to validate and would not get an IP.

Is your router running radius? I highly doubt it

Ok, so then do I put nothing in for radius server? Do I just set up wpa enterprise with a password and then setup the wap54g as wpa enterprise also with the same password and and no radius server?

WPA is a security feature, not a range extending one

That is true, did you read what I was trying to do with it or did you read the article that I linked to? I want to have WPA security on the network and I also want to use the wap54g as a range extender. The article there pretty much tells you how to do it except for the last part where he says he uses WPA Enterprise on the router in order for WPA to be used with a range extending unit. Problem is he does not go into detail on how to configure WPA enterprise, eg he does not say what to put in for a radius server if anything and he does not say how you should configure the range extender eg should the range extender also be set to wpa enterpirse?
