Adding a wireless router through a hub and wired router to my DSL

[jbgdvc]

My DSL modem connects to a wired router (192.168.200.1). I have a Win2000 PC hardwired to it using DHCP working fine. I have a hub in my basement connected to it with wires running to my kitchen and to my 2nd floor bedroom. My WinME PC in the bedroom works fine. I want to connect a wireless router (for my WinXP Pro laptop) to the port in my kitchen because it is centrally located in my house.

Will I need to change the default address of 192.168.1.1?
Should I run this as a Gateway or Router?
I would like to share files and printers as well as the DSL connection.

Thanks!

You wouldn't use a router. You'd either buy a dedicated Access Point or, since the AP/ROuter combo's are usually cheaper, go ahead and buy the integrated unit. You just wouldn't use the router funtion at all. You wouldn't use the WAN port on the second device and you wouldn't use it's DHCP server. The IP would only be for configuring. It would pass data transparently. It would be, in basic terms, a wireless hub. That is what AP's are. Nothing to configure on it except your security measures. It should allow you to change the default Local IP to something that matches your network. Might even allow it to be a DHCP client but possibly not. You'd just have to do it manually.
