Need help to configure WNAP210 as a wifi router to my cable modem
This is how my home internet works.
ISP gave me a cable modem and I connect it to my laptop through Ethernet cable. There is no static IP configured on my laptop. Modem will do everything. Once it gets connected, I'll get public IP configured on my NIC card, not the 192.*** IP.
I hope the current setup is understood.
Now I want my cable modem's Ethernet cable to be connected to WNAP210 and I can connect my laptop through wifi.
Here's my ipconfig:
Ethernet adapter Ethernet:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : ispxyz.com
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : abcd::e9ef:qwer:8b52:qqrs%3
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 100.31.xx.246
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.128.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 100.31.0.1

- The WNAP210 can be configured as a DHCP server, however you still need a router for NAT.

So are you saying I can't use this WNAP210 device as a wireless router?
This is what I expect:
ISP Cable --> Cable Modem --> WNAP210 --- wifi to my devices.
