To set up an access point using 2 Actiontec routers, is the procedure the same as below? The user manual is just 2 brief steps. Also, can I use my current access point (Microsoft MN-820) by just pluging it in to the 2nd Actiontec's lan port? http://www.dslreports.com/faq/12506 quote:Next, set up your router as secondary 6. Unplug your PC's wired connection from the Actiontec LAN port, then plug it into a LAN port on your secondary router. Make sure the secondary router WAN port is not connected to anything. Boot up your PC and the router and log into your secondary router's interface. 7. You should be able to login with a login and a password. If you are unable to, you may have to resort to a hard reset on the secondary router and use the operator's manual to determine the default login and password. Please note that routers from different manufacturers will vary in their default settings and interface. If your PC is set to get a LAN address automatically, you can determine your IP address by typing "ipconfig /all" (without the quotes) at a command prompt, then press Enter. You should be able to log in to your secondary router at "http://192.168.1.1" or by using your LAN IP address with .1 as the last octet. 8. Once logged in, ignore the router's Internet settings because the WAN port is not used. You need to change its Network Settings to set the Router IP address to 192.168.1.2 with Subnet mask 255.255.255.0. 9. Also, it's very important to Disable DHCP Server. On my secondary router after I made those changes, I needed to Save Settings.
