Using 7800DXL as an WiFi AP only

Post by JAD4096 »

I have been using 7800DXL on Sky (ADSL2) for about 1 year now and it's been great. But i'm now getting BT Infinity (VDSL) with Home Hub 5, in couple of weeks.

As the Home Hub does not have a modem only setting on it, I would like to use the 7800DXL as an Access Point. What setting would I need to change as I would like to keep virtual access points and clients isolation on if possibly. I know to turn off DHCP, but that’s all I know.

Thanks for any help.

Yep that's all that's needed, turn off the DHCP server, and make sure the HH5 does not conflict with the 7800DXL's IP address
