New PC & OS (Vista 64)-New Router also? »
« [Wireless] PC Gaming: use WUSB600N or WGA600N

bsdaiwa join:2004-06-04 Fullerton, CA	WRT54GL as a AP I have been using several WRT54GL's running Tomato as AP's. I cable the router to one of the 4 LAN ports and disable the WAN and DHCP. I was wondering if I could use any of the other LAN ports as if the device was a switch? I want to attach a PC to it but I don't know if I can, any advice? Thanks

Someone familiar with Tomato could go one step further and, I think, suggest how to add the WAN port to that same switch. It can be done but I'm not familiar enough with Tomato in this regard. The WAN port could become like the extra "uplink" port available on some older routers.
