Using WAX202 as Router
Is there a simple way to utilize the WAX202 as a router? I have a modem that works fine (arris). I don't do much outside of homework (there is some data analysis) and movies via internet.
I will try this. Also, when I connected it to the modem there was nothing happening with the internet light. I am thinking it is supposed to be connected directly into the LAN line....
Nothing beats a failure but a try.... I will keep at it. I hate returning items.

So I do not have an seperate router. The question was can I use the AP as a router instead even if I DO NOT have a seperate router.
The WAX202 can serve as a simple NAT router as per the fine manual. https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WAX202/WAX202_WAX206_UM_EN.pdf marked as "Router Mode" btw. One WAN port (for your cable modem) plus three LAN ports (for the second WAX202 plus some switch is required).
