Airport Configuration
I'm trying to set up my Airport as a remote base station. The problem is that my other wireless point isn't an Airport, but a D-Link router. So is it possibly, and if so, what do I have to have the settings at to have it do this? It finds Dl-614+ wireless router and I select that as the main base station.
All I want is to have my Airport extend the distance the signal can go because I'd like all my property to be able to be reached, and maybe even help boost the signal. So any ideas?
Edit: The actual airport says it's IP is (169.254.106.242) and not like the IP that my d-link gives out (192.168.0.xxx). Shouldn't the airport be a client of my wireless router like I am?

Things to make sure of:
1. Use different channels for each wireless
2. In Airport Admin Utility - internet pane -
Connect using ethernet, if that is how you are connecting to your router.
3. In Internet pane - configure - select - using DHCP
4. In Network pane - deselect the Distribute IP addresses box.
That is all I had to change on mine when I went from a dial up to using it as a bridge.
