E3000 - how to make it act as a Bridge/AP only

So I picked up this E3000 today to replace my old dlink that has been failing.

My old dlink allowed me to set it into Bridge mode so that all routing was done on my main router facing the internet.

I'm having trouble finding this option on the E3000.

All I want it to do is act as a wireless AP and hand off all routing/DHCP to my main router.

Thanks

Then just plug the router into the e3000 regular LAN port and use it as a dumb switch. Nothing fancy need be done. I am doing the exact same thing with mine. I just plug a Ethernet cable from a port on my router to one of the switch ports on the e3000.

All PCs connected to the e3000 wirelessly become just other PCs on the lan as if they were plugged in to a switch. The e3000 is essentially a "wireless" switch if you will.

This may help...

Ah ok, I had it hooked up to the WAN port. Looks like disabling DHCP on the E3000 allows the main router to handle the requests.

Thnx
