that I would also like to use upstairs as another point of entry to my home network.

Question is, how?
I don't want to use the modem bit, I just want access via the wired ports through the ether of wireless to the main router & out to the world.

Trying them both on, seperate PC's while in the router config for the spare, the main router config page said it was in use.
So it seems to me that it should not be at IP 192.168.2.1.
Any suggestions for what it should be?
How do I get it to also use DHCPfor whatever is plugged into it? or should I set it up to be non DHCP with specific ports for whatever is plugged into it? (and how).

Any helpful suggestions welcome.
Thank you, & a merry forthcoming Christmas to you all.

some 3rd party firmware can be used but not sure about your belkin as much of its only now becoming usable in linux and i dont keep up with the router side of it or weather they have managed to put something on there or not.

keep looking and you can update us here perhaps..
