I have a wireless lan running on my ASDL2 connection. The router (Seimens Gigaset sx763) is provided by the ISP and is generally good. However I have couple of dead spots at the far end of the house and since I have my old router sitting in the drawer I thought that I'd try to convert it into simple WAP.

However downloading the manual from linksys it seems to be that the manual is from an earlier firmware, but the very first option on the very first page seems promising:

Wan Mode: Router or ADSL

However after this I'm a bit lost. I know that the wireless card on this box will need a mac address and it must get its address from the master router (I thought static might be best).

However the again the manual is out of date I have the option of

DHCP: ON or OFF or RELAY

I've not even got to the more complex options yet.

Question is can this device even work this way (seems like it but I cannot find any docs on it), and if so how?

Edit: Having now fiddled around I'm of the opinion that this cannot be done.
