Using Ethernet Ports without using Internet Ports
I was wondering if there was anyway to use the Ethernet ports, without using the Internet port. I want to use my XR500 to only use the ethernet on my PC.
I guess I'm a bit confused by what you're asking. You don't want the router connected to the internet? you just want to be able to use the ethernet ports to act as a switch? Why not just buy a switch?
What kind of switch?
just a wired switch?
