Turn a wireless router to an AP and disble the routering functions
Posted: Sat Dec 04, 2010 5:21 am
I have several wireless devices to be monitored. As I was reading your wireless deployment of WFilter, I realized that I need to add a wired router in front my switch, and turn my wireless router to an AP.
Now I plan on making my current router the wireless access point. If my former router becomes my ap and it is pluged into the switch; will I have any problem with this device if I can not shut down the routing functions. If a router is plugged into a switch then it should just control the traffic on that part of the switch. I plan on putting a more powerful router in front of the switch. I want to use my old router as the ap because it is dual band N and I like it. I also like that it will not cost me any more money. What do you think? Am I correct in my theory?
