smart and wireless

[spongebob123]

firstly hello to all as i am a new member
i would class my computer knowledge as novice so i am seeking some help
.................................................. ....................
i have a smart broadband account with 4mb
i purchased a wireless router " sitecom 54g turbo wlan router" as i want
to use it with my laptop without having to attach it to my router.
i followed the instalation instructions but cannot get the smart aolynk router to
connect to the wireless router. the instructions say to ping 192.168.0.1 to access the wireless router but just comes back as a timeout.
the smart router is 192.168.1.1
has anyone connect this setup and if so how or anyone any ideas how to solve
the problem
regards

Couple of things:

The two devices are in different IP subnets - you can look up what this means if you want, but the important bit is that only the digits after the last dot in the addresses should be different. You need to change the wireless device to 192.168.1.2 - you should be able to do this wirelessly or with an ethernet cable.

The other thing that is happening is that both devices (probably) have DHCP turned on (DHCP issues IP addresses to client devices). If they are both trying to give out addresses, there will be a problem. What you need to do is leave DHCP on in the Smart router, and turn it off in the wireless router (set it to Bridge mode), so that the Smart router issues the wireless router with an address, and issues any clients of the wireless router (your PC) with an address too.

I have a Smart 4Mbit account and a non-wireless router. It is connected to a wireless router in bridged mode, which is connected to two other wireless routers, to extend the coverage. The Smart router does the DHCP work and everything else is bridged.
