Use as a Router?

Is anyone using the WAX204 as a router?

 

I have had issues getting it to work with wired connections.

 

Thanks!

 

Regards,

JeffY

Re: Use as a Router?

1. what modem/gateway are you connecting it to? 

2. what firmware is on it? 

3. what actual issue are you running into? Details help more than just "issues"

Thanks for the reply.

 

The WAX2004 is connected to my ISP's Cable modem (Spectrum). No idea what firmware would be on that box.

I set up the WAX204 as a router (which is a selection in the setup to use either as a router or AP).

Some of my wired devices cannot connect --  was previously wired connection but now says 'cable unplugged'. Also tested several ethernet ports and shows wired adaptor disconnected.

what spectrum modem is it? 

Do all devices fail that are hardwired in? 

I'm more curious what firmware is on the WAX
