the instructions below to switch to the Ethernet connection.
1. Make sure that your cable modem is powered off.

Configuring Your Router for the Existing Network
If you have an existing network, chances are you have already configured network services on the network. In this case, you
would use the router as a pure Access Point to extend the range of your network by allowing more attachment of wireless and
wired computers. You
MUST
also turn off the DHCP server on the router if there is a DHCP server running to avoid IP
address conflict.
To configure the router as an Access Point with the DHCP server disabled:
1. Open your web browser and go to
http://my.router
, (or the default address
.)
2. Click the
Basic Settings
tab on the top navigation bar.
3. Select
Access Point
Mode.
4. Click the
Next
button.
5. Click
OK
to dismiss the DHCP disabled message box (The DHCP server will be disabled in Access Point Mode by
default).
6. Click the
Advanced Settings
tab on the top navigation bar.
7. Click the
Advanced IP Settings
tab on the left navigation bar.
8. Assign an IP address to the Wireless Broadband Router.
NOTE: The IP address should be reserved by the DHCP server. The Wireless Broadband Router cannot act as a
DHCP client, therefore, it needs a static IP address for its LAN interface.
9. Click the
Submit
button.
10. Click the
Save & Restart
button.
