I have a DSL connection and my company gave me a wired DSL modem.
Right now I don't have a wireless router, what I have is another DSL Modem (Actiontec GT701-WG) that has wireless functionality. I want to set it up in a way that it works only as a wireless router (i.e. I want my wireless devices to connect to the ActionTec).
I cannot just set up my ActionTec modem and remove my provider's DSL modem because it is password protected and I don't know the configuration.
Is there a way I can set up my Wireless Modem only as a router? I was thinking on using static routing but I'm not sure on how to set it up. Right now I have the Actiontec modem connected to the other modem with a static IP address, then I connected my computer to the Actiontec modem using the wireless network and manually set up the gateway to my provider's modem IP and everything works correctly. I just don't want to manually modify the settings of every device connected to the wireless to set the correct gateway.
Thanks for the help.
You want to setup the Actiontec GT701-WG as a wireless access point (WAP), not a "wireless router". You only need one router in your LAN. – sawdust – 2014-05-05T08:10:47.390
