RE: Use WRT54G as access point SYQUEST (TechnicalUser) 30 Nov 08 22:00 You can configure the WRT54G as a WAP as follows: Log into the WRT54G and change the router IP to the one you want, change the Subnet Mask to the same one your LAN is using, and disable DHCP. The trick is to make sure DHCP is turned OFF in the router/access point so that your wireless clients get IPs from your existing router/firewall..

I already have a fully functional router installed in my network. What I would like to do is set up a spare WRT54G as nothing more than an access point. Is this doable?
