Connect Mi-Fi to a Router for Sharing

Hello Folks,

I have a Pocket Wifi Huawei E585 - It is a router which allows me to connect up to five devices to the Internet. I have two laptops and a PC. The Router Does not allow me to connect the computers together. I bought a Belkin G-Router. I want to Wirelessly connect the routers together for the following purpose:

I want the Pocket Mi-Fi to act as a modem only and distribute one single internet connection to the Belkin.

Then I want the Belkin Router to do the sharing between my computers and distribute the internet connection between the computers.

Thanks a Lot.

Hello Zepher,

Of all the Belkin Routers available I had to buy one which is incompatible with DD-WRT. Your reply was most helpful.

Thanks again.

Regards.

Hi Barman58,

(Can I have a beer Please? :) - I like your username) Thanks for your post bud


I am considering what you replied, it does make sense, however, I have a little issue: the Dongle is USB and the Router has no USB connectivity. I searched for an adaptor and here in Aus it's very expensive, around $50 (I can get another router for that same price). If there was a way I could connect the router to the dongle (which has wifi as well) then I think what you are telling me may be done.

Thanks again - I'm kinda excited - this is my first forum participation and I find the sharing of knowledge extremely amazing - I hope I can help some people one day.

Regards

Hey Guys,

I'm stuck I cannot find any way to connect the Mifi to the router, any Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi Aem,

I am still using direct wired connection to connect my two PCs and I have my wife's PC that I would like to add to the network when (If) it goes wireless. My Huawei allows simultaneous connection to the Internet but since it 'divides' the connections whenever one PC or other device is connected to it I have to refrain from switching on another PC if I want 'decent' internet speed.

The Belkin I have is F5D7234-4 v3 - I am very disappointed with the firmware and I cannot flash it - I knew I shouldn't have listened to that Apple guy. Anyway, The belkin is not detecting the Huawei when used as an Access Point. And I wanted the Belkin to do the sharing and to make all computers go through it to access the Internet. The Belkin Firmware will not even allow me to create a wireless network without internet connection.

If you can advise of some route to adopt let me know.

Thanks a lot.
