However after you have done that you need to restart all your devices that connect to your wifi because they need to get the new network configuration through DHCP. | |
| Feb 25, 2014 at 9:21 | comment | added | user302791 | My switch is connected to the modem, which is in turn, connected to the internet. Here is a summary of my situation - Router set to AP mode and connected to the main switch via WAN or LAN: cannot connect to anything. Router set to router mode and connected to the main switch via LAN: cannot connect to anything. Router set to router mode and connected to the main switch via WAN: can only connect to the internet. | |

I did that and tried connected the LAN and WAN port of the wireless access point to the switch, I get no internet access. How am I supposed to set up the access point properly? | |
| Feb 24, 2014 at 15:46 | comment | added | jmbouffard | I hadn't read the link you posted in your question but if seems you may want to keep both routers and use the ASUS RT-N66U as an Access Point only. Unless the RT-N66U as an "AP only" mode I would not recommend using both routers at the same time. I tried something similar already with 2 Linksys routers and even after disabling DHCP on the wireless one it was still causing some issues. | |
