Trouble creating "wireless access point" from D-Link DI-514 router

[verbatim]

I have already read the Tweaktown tutorial on "Using an old router as a DIY wireless Access Point"

But it seems more geared for Linksys routers and/or I might be doing something wrong (or maybe due to the difference between Linksys and D-Link control panels?)

Is there someone who can help?

Thank you.

Did you disable the DHCP on the D-link? Also you'll need to log into the D-link and change the default IP-address to a different TCP/IP address:

EX: Router1 192.168.0.1 (leave as this one generates the TCP/IP address for the network)
D-link 192.168.0.1 change to 192.168.1.1 (this eliminates confusion on the network)

Then you need to disable the DHCP on the D-link.

Also, connect a network cable from one of the ports of Router1 to another port on the D-link. Do not connect the port of Router1 to the up-link port on the D-link.

I think I covered most of the common problems that occur when trying to set up a wireless access point....

hope this helps ....

Can you set up a access point through a workgroup?
