Using R6100 as a switch
I'm trying to set up my Netgear R6100 to function as a switch, but can't seem to figure out what settings to change.
If you only want to use the LAN ports, and not the wifi, try just plugging things into the four Ethernet ports, with one of them connected to the router.
Press the wifi On/Off button to turn the WiFi (and its LED) off.
Just got this to work with an old ADSL modem I had lying around.
Some routers let the WAN port double as a LAN port. Not sure about this one.
