glad to hear you got that fixed!
Let me know how it goes with adding an access point in the AbNb.

I am using a new netgear switch but might be stepping beyond the netgear line asking this question here The router Im tring to make a access point is a linksys WRT 54G I cannot seem to find the whole picture on how to configure it for access point. It is in bridge mode as default but has the option to change to router. Also when you turn off DHCP and save settings I lose contact with the web based router panel. Is there a clear path to configure this router to a access point to be able to use the wireless as well as one of the 4 ports for a smart tv ? sorry Im a old person tring to figure this out . Thanks

That was a solid router when it was released.......17 years ago. It literally came out in 2003. It might be worth upgrading for your abnb.
But if you choose to go that route, there's guides on the linksys forum.
