Transforming your pc (Using a TPLINK wireless card)

Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:49 am

Hello Folks,

I am QUITE new routerOS user. Actually, It's my second day using it. (And I'm really impressed with its power)

Guys, my doubt is simple (I guess).

I've got a computer, with routerOS 5.4 installed in it. This computer has one ethernet card and one wireless card (TPLINK).

The ethernet receives internet signal (PPPoe "ADSL"). I would like the wireless card to be a "Hotspot" and spread the internet to other devices.

It means, transform my PC in a HotSpot.

I thank you in advance. In the mean time I will be looking, even more, for good tutorials.

Yeap, but the real doubt is :

Can I "transform" my wireless card into a Access Point?

Thanks!

Yeap I've just confirmed that.

Do you know any tutorial teaching how to do that?

Thanks mate =)

I did it :D

So happy that my wireless card is working as AP.

Now I am engaged in another task: Internet Sharing.

Thanks for the help
