Title: Can I make my EBR-2310 a switch?
Post by: morthax on October 11, 2009, 11:41:12 AM

Hi. As the subject says, can I make my EBR-2310 a switch? If so, how do I go about doing this?

Simple. Just disable DHCP and connect all clients on the LAN-side. Ignore the WAN, unless you want to use the routers built-in firewall 'going up'...

All clients and the 'up-link' need to be connected to the LAN-side, so only 3 [additional] clients can be connected to a network this way. If that is not enough you can always buy a real switch. They are really cheap nowadays (if you can still find them, that is).
