I currently have a wireless LAN in place and would like to put a BEFSR41 I have lying around to some use on my current LAN.

Is there any way I can effectively use it as a hub/switch/any other interesting Ethernet purposes? Like I said, I just have it lying around and want to put it to some use.

Thanks!

Yes, turn off the DHCP server and use the four LAN ports as a switch.

If you disable the DHCP server via its Web interface and don't use the WAN port, there should be absolutely no reason why you can't use it as just a

4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch.
