2. DISABLE ROUTER FUNCTIONALITY IN ONE ROUTER AND USE IT AS AN AP:

There may be times when a customer has an existing router that you want to take out of the loop without

physically removing, or isn’t needed anymore but can be used for additional switch ports and/or as an Access

Point. In this method, we will use one router (doesn’t matter which) as the boss (router A) and the 2

router

as a switch/AP (router B). You will need configuration notes from a manual, the ISP, or the internet for the

router to accomplish this method. Some routers may have a button that will accomplish the steps we outline in

one press, but there still may need to be configuration changes beyond clicking that one button, so be sure to

double-check settings afterwards. Below is a guide to make the changes manually; also use this as a reference

to verify changes if your router has a magic “AP Mode” button. To make/verify these changes, you will likely

need to have a Cat-5 cable going from your computer directly into one of the LAN ports on the router.

Though the diagram shows using the Elan D-Link as the main router (router A), the following guide is written

nonspecifically, as in this instance either router can be converted to a switch/AP. This guide can be used in

conjunction with option 1, and you may wish to read option 1 as a guide on configuring router A if you have

not already done so.
