Re: using adsl modem/router as an access point?

You can't use it as a wireless router, but you can (probably) use it as a wireless access point.

Check out some of my previous posts, the information is on this forum. Remember you will need to connect one of the lan ports on the ADSL router to one of the lan ports on your Shub. Not the wan port on the ADSL router of course as that will be the wrong socket size. Don't turn your Shub into modem mode, that won't work for an ADSL router as the ADSL modem bit gets in the way.

Forget 'Bridged' mode. You want the wireless access point to have a fixed IP on the same subnet as the Shub DHCP range and DHCP turned off on the wireless access point with DHCP turned on on the Shub with the ip range excluding the fixed ip of the wireless access point.

As I said, check out previous threads on this forum for full details, including some I posted in.
