My daughter is on an Army Base in the South Pacific. They have Dial up internet on their home telephone not DSL. They have high speed wireless at the base community center/coffee shop. I will be going there in 9 days to install the dir-615. She has a Dell Desktop with Vista Basic SP1, laptop with XP, IPAD2 and a NOOK Tablet. The dir-615 HVE1 with firmware 5.00na on the bottom sticker. She said she was able to go to web address, login, change the user name and password, started on the wireless configuration and she paniced. My question is basically this. by using a cat5 cable from the desktop to the dir-615 with dialup internet connected can the router be setup using the automatic method as opposed to manual. Our first priority is to be able transfer files to the 2 tablets without being connected to the internet like a switch and secondly If possible go on to the internet from a Tablet or the Laptop. I assume the second option would reuire internet sharing option when setting up the network and performance would be ugly.

Can get I get this router to work this way with just dialup to set it up

Dialup, Really? 

Your looking at a big mess. Even if you shared out? Oh lordy. I did that once years ago with 2 PCs. Not good.
A
ny router wont work with Dialup. Routers require a RJ45 LAN cable connection. Phone connect is RJ#? something that I can't remember off the top of my head.

Yes, No broadband just dialup at the house andno cars. Specificaly the desktop is connected to router with a rj45 cable. Can the router be setup to share files on a local network without the internet.I know I unplug my cable modum router and mynetwork still works. Sorry my fingers too fat for tablet

Yes you can have as many PCs wires has you have ports or want to add an external network switch for more PCS for LAN network abilities.

I am probably not being clear as to what I would like to do at the least.
1 desktop with nac card and dialup modum internal
1 laptop with wireless and nac
2 tablets wireless
1 dir-615
I would like to setup a local area network using the 615 wired and wireless. I know the router has a cable or dsl cat5 position.
Many routers require a wired connection to the pc to set them ie netgear.after setup and remove the cat5 cable and be all wireless if you want
My question is cani setup the network using 615 with no switches or additional hardware or Internet as a patt of the network. I just want to share files

[FurryNutz]

Yes.
