Don't quite understand your wiring.

What is the "net" socket.

And where are you plugging the other end of that wire into the
linksys.

The correct way to use a router (linksys) as an access-point and switch
is to.

1.  Give it an address on the network implemented by the router that is
different from the router and NOT in the router DHCP range.
xxx.xxx.xxx.2 is a standard choice.

2.  Turn off DHCP.

3.  Set its wireless config the same as the router - with either the
same or a different channel.  I use different channel.

4.  Connect an ether net wire from one of the lan ports on the router
to one of the lan ports on the AP.  The AP Wan port MUST NOT BE USED.

You should be able to reach the config pages of the AP by using the
address you gave it during the set up.
