Are you getting a valid IP address from the router? Shouldn't be 169.x.x.x.

Normally, when you set up a Wireless Access Point, you should set it up so that it (the AP) is the one that authenticates via PPPoE to the DSL provider.

You must then remove the DSL login from your terminals and just have it set to default (get IP via DHCP) with PPPoE turned off.

It will make things easier if you can tell us what kind of Wireless Access Point you got.

if you happen to be on a fixed IP range in your local network, and have setup the router to connect to your ISP correctly, then you can also double check if you "set" the DNS settings on your machines to match whatever DNS settings your router got from your ISP.

Sa mac meron automatic, pero sa PC sometimes kelangan manual (kung di ka naka DHCP that is)

I'll throw in my two bits:

http://www.linksys.com/tech_helper/intro.html and

192.168.2.1 - that's your router's ip address

192.168.1.1 - this should be your broadband internet's router ip (which your provider should have helped you out with)

Yeah I know it's a Linksys page, but maybe you use the same brand.

I use Safari with the pop up blocking DISABLED for this task.

@wicket - a couple of questions:
1. Can you confirm that your wireless modem/router is actually connected to your ISP?
1.1. Go to http://192.168.1.1, login, look at your DSL connection status in the status tab. It should say "connected".

2. In the advanced tab, click on LAN clients and check if your computers are connected.
2.1. If your computers connect to your router via DHCP, your computers should be listed in dynamic addresses section.

Guys, just a quick question. Tried to use my APE to extend the range of the D-Link DI-713P, but I always get an IP address of 168.xxx.xxx.xxx on my Airport Utilities, no luck in extending the range. When I use my APE with a Linksys WRT54G, I don't have a problem. Any comments?
