Using BEFSR41 as hub / switch?

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.lans.ethernet (More info?)

I currently have a wireless LAN in place and would like to put a
BEFSR41 I have lying around to some use on my current LAN.

Is there any way I can effectively use it as a hub/switch/any other
interesting Ethernet purposes? Like I said, I just have it lying
around and want to put it to some use.

Thanks!

If you disable the DHCP server via its Web interface and don't use the WAN
port, there should be absolutely no reason why you can't use it as just a
4-port 10/100 Ethernet switch.
