Title: DIR-845L as access point
Post by: theotherPeter on May 25, 2015, 03:57:53 AM
Hello forum
I would like to know which settings really are applicable on the DIR-845L when it is used as an access point?.
I have connected it using a LAN port and disabled DHCP and NAT due to rumors, but the are alot of other settings.
Would it not be better if the user selected operation mode in a menu like AP, BRIDGE, REPEATER, ROUTER ETC..
This way the router would know its operating mode and invalid menus would be grayed-out
since they are not applicable in the current mode of operation.
Also the WAN port could be used as a LAN port since the router knows.
Also the NTP would be pulled from router instead since the router knows its operating mode.
Thanks
Peter
