Re: [BC] TELUS (Siemens) SE567 brdbnd (ADSL) wireless gtwy as hu couttsj ... thanks for all the help eh?
I'll search out Glowduke's SE567 threads / posts and see what else I can glean about using this gateway device as a switch / WAP, whether I should pursue disabling DHCP on it (still require specific procedure) and any other configuration changes worth making (ie. re-enabling firewall and enabled level).

kudos:4 | WOW. I will have to dig out the books on the SE567, but I believe you can not turn off the DHCP service(s) of the device. I will double check. The WAN port of the SE567 is designed to learn an IP address to which it transmits the packets upsteam, etc. However will retain a Private networking set up, ie, 192.x. Thus giving IP addresses to MACs as they request IPs, etc.
As for the WAP, unless we can turn off the DHCP service, will remain assigning IPs within its range. I will have to check further on this device. Hopefully I can respond with findings by Mid-afternoon on Friday.

kudos:4 | WOW, I am sorry about the delay. I have been a bit busy over here. Anyhow, I dug out the Siemens and tried to muck with the settings, it is not an easy device. I believe that what we are trying to achieve is beyond the scope of the device.
The Siemens does not allow the DHCP services to be shut down. So it will retain private networking and support IP's within its DHCP range. Reading that your intended purpose was to use the Siemens as a 100MB Switch in your dining room, I think we are left to purchase a Simple Switch at 100/1000MB Speeds.
Good Luck, let me know if you have more ideas.
