I've been at this for 8 hours + now and its 3am. I went and made a quick image to show what I'm trying to achieve to help give an idea.
When the access point is directly hooked up to the htpc, it can ping and web config the access point. When the AP is hooked up to the router, the htpc, cant ping or web config it. But the htpc can web config the router.
Is it the settings for obtain ip automatically? Should I assign static ip's to the router and access point and htpc all different as well right?
I know the wireless router is working because I'm using my laptop wirelessly to troubleshoot the htpc in the living room and all my other wireless gadgets see my wireless router except the htpc.
EDIT:
Add an image of what I'm trying to achieve.
Update: So I been at it for another few hours and made some progress. I can have both the access point and the lan router hooked up to the htpc and web config and ping them. But, I'm not getting a signal from my wireless router.
Should I have the access point in "Access Point Mode", "AP Client Mode", or "Repeater Mode"
