Reading the user manual it shows that I must use the WRT in
conjunction with my dsl modem/router.
Is this mandatory or what?
I am told that my configuration should be.
- DSL Router: operating as dhcp client vs WAN, acting as a getaway for the WRT)
- WRT: configured with a static IP address (!= from the one assigned
by my ISP to my DSL router), packets are routed to the DSL router
which configured as default getaway
- My PC's connected to the WRT and using dchp client to obtain IP addresses
