I have a 2004 Linksys WRT160N router that I will be replacing. (Wifi signal has deteriorated ALOT--1 bar 20 feet away)
My new router will be on the 1st floor along with the cable modem.
I have a Range Extender with Ethernet support on the 2nd floor along with 2 Desktops. I plan to use the old router as a switch so I could hook up 2 PCs.
Essentially: Modem --wired--> Router --wireless--> Range Extender --wired--> Old Router/Switch --wired--> 2 PCs
How should I proceed in converting the old router into an un-managed switch?
