Some routers can be used just as access points - assuming the old router has LAN ports, disable DHCP on the old wireless router, assign an IP address to it that is consistent with the numbering of new router (and does not conflict) and just connect one of the LAN ports of the old router to one on the new router. Worst case, if that doesn't work, just buy a separate wireless router/access point<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 19 July 2016 00:00:32 BST, Jim Juhas <james.f.juhas@snet.net> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<pre class="k9mail">This is shop related because I'm looking to provide connectivity to my new barn. Presently I have a DSL modem supplied by a slow DSL line, but the modem includes WiFi. The location is relatively remote but better speeds are available from the local cable provider (Charter/Spectrum). The cable provider indicates WiFi capability is available for an additional $5/month, which seems high to me. What issues do I have by simply adding (or substituting?) my own WiFi-capable modem?<br />Sent from my iPhone<br /><hr /><br /><br />Shop-talk@autox.team.net<br />Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br />Suggested annual donation $12.96<br />Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br />Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br />Unsubscribe/Manage: <a
