    right so got clearwire

    and want to use a "belkin adsl modem with wireless g router" as the box says

    as an access point

    em... right so

    I plug the cat 5 from the clearwire reciever to the router

    how do I set the router to work as an access point

    I just dont want to buy a access point since the router is already here, but its a adsl router so its default as a gateway...

    any help or suggestions?

    What type of connection do Clearwire provide eg RJ45/Ethernet?

    You'll need to exchange the Belkin for a router thats WAN port takes RJ45 if thats the case, also do NOT get a Belkin, you will end up bald and frustrated try to setup and troubleshoot them. Best to run away now while you still have your sanity. The range and quality of the radios in Belkin equipment is seriously dodgy so stay well away, better off with Linksys gear.


    /end Linksys commercial ;)

    it takes a ethernet connection

    but its an adsl modem so it also has a rj45

    hmm after much searching of the net I dont think I'll be able to use it the way I wanted to (without using CCproxy )

    Nope sorry to say but I told ya so... ;)

    The WAN connection is phone line (RJ11) so will not work. You need a router with an RJ45 WAN port > Linksys WRT54G is your best bet as it is reliable and from tthe best maker of net equipment there is Linksys (Cisco).
