You configure the adapter according to the pdf instructions. I use a fixed IP address for the adapter outside of the router DHCP address range and also give my Netduino a fixed IP address. For example,
Router LAN address: 192.168.0.1 Router DHCP range: 192.168.0.100-254 Ethernet adapter address: 192.168.0.3 <-- fixed IP address Netduino address: 192.168.0.50 <-- Fixed IP address
(1) Setup the adapter (IP address, SSID, Wpa key) (2) let the adapter connect to the network (check by pinging it) (3) Once the adapter has established itself on the LAN, plug in the Netduino to the adapter and wait a bit. (4) Ping the Netduino IP address and it should respond if all went well.
If steps 1-4 completed successfully, execute arp -a and in the arp table you should see the Netduino IP address and the adapter address, but the Netduino will now be associated with the adapter MAC address. You will need to take this into consideration if you are using if you are using the actual Netduino MAC for some reason, but otherwise it is the same as if you had just connected the Netduino to the router through an ethernet connection.
Thank you very much!
I ordered the router you suggested. You helped me a lot.
