Hi,
I live in UAE and here we use Etisalat as our ISP.I have Alshamil (Adsl connection) and iam using (Siemens SpeedStream 6520 ADSL/WLAN Gateway)for my internet connectivity.I use Cable to connect my laptop with my Siemens router i dont use wirless connection.I live on 8Th floor down on ground floor i have a Coffee shop i want to fix a Ap over there for my coustomers for using thier laptops so i used Cat5 cable (straight) with my Router and then attach that cable with Ap the length is Approximatly 120 meters but the connectivity light is on in Ap but when i try to connrect any laptop the error is Limited or no connectivity then i connect laptop direct with that cable without Ap but the error is same i need completly soloution

You need to connect the AP with a crossover cable to a stand alone computer and configure it to match the parameters of the Router.

This page was written for another purpose but you cam extrapolate the principle.
