Problems Linking a Linksys 4 port wireless access point to a Linksys 4 1

[iblearnen]

Morning,
I have a Linksys 4 port wireless access point; I need more ports for my home network thus utilizing a Linksys 4 port switch that I have used in the past. Shouldn’t I be able to link the two together? And if so will I need a different type of cat 5 cable to connect them via the up-link port, not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance

If one of the devices has an uplink port, connect that to a regular port on the other device with a standard, straight through cable. Many of the Linksys devices share an uplink & regular port. So, you might not be able to use the regular port immediately next to the uplink port.
