grunt58 @ten.com	[Help Me] DI-604 configured to act as a switch. I have an old Dlink DI-604 that I'd like to configure to work as a switch. I think this is possible but not sure how to do it. Switches are cheap but if I could save a few bucks with some tweaking I'd prefer that. Plus I figure I'd learn a bit about networking. Dlinks site on the DI-604: »www.dlink.com/products/?pid=62 My main problem is I have Uverse and I'm out of wired ports on the Residential Gateway. I would like 2 more ports to network my PC and NAS, so my laptop and Xbox can access their files.

Check the Host router pool addresses, some routers using 191.168.1.#'s. You can turn off all other options like QoS options, firewall, SPI, WISH, Protected WiFi, all filters and such. Just use the LAN port to connect to a open LAN port on the host router.
