Hi all,

I was wondering if it is possible to get a router set up to act as an access point. I have a wired network and a wireless router and i was thinking that i
could set the ip of the wireless router to one in the network and put a range of ip's in the dhcp pool higher than the range in my wired routers dhcp pool.

I know that routers don't forward broadcast messages but I didn't know if there was any way to get the router to allow it. This router has WDS functionality and It can be set as the root AP but I believe that this is just for extending an AP's range but I thought that if it could do that, it could act as an AP in some way.

Thoughts?

Thanks for any info.
