I'd like to treat my wireless router (D-link DI-524) as a simple
access point, without its router facilities & functions.

How would I do this?

Connection would be to a wired router which in turn has connection to
broadband modem.

Dave, I am trying to turn my DI-524 into an access point as well. I just bought a high powered N router from best buy and would like that to be the "main" router, and the DI-524 as the access point. the links in this forum does not work. Can you tell me how you did this?

my e-mail address is wyatt9603@yahoo.com
