Hi all
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the router function on subj. and only use it as an access point? I have a router from my ISP with an IP phone line in it which i need to use, and I dont like the thought of having two routers connected.
Any experiences ?
Regards Nikod
Nikod,
I've done this a number of times:
1) Disconnect the router's WAN port 2) Disable DHCP on the router (if DHCP is being served elsewhere). 3) Plug cable that was going into WAN port into a LAN port. 4) Now wireless computers connecting to router will communicate with local lan to find gateway.Chris

Thanks, thats perfect. The router will then be the perfect Access point with network storage, switch and printer server in one :-)
