Can I use my Trendnet router as a wireless access point?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can use your Trendnet router as a wireless access point. A wireless access point (WAP) allows you to extend the range and coverage of your existing network. To set up your Trendnet router as a wireless access point, you need to disable its routing functionality and adjust its settings accordingly. First, connect your router to the main network using an Ethernet cable. Then, access the router's administration panel and disable DHCP, NAT, and firewall features. Assign a static IP address to the router within the main network's range. Finally, configure the wireless settings to match your existing network, such as SSID, security type, and passphrase. Once completed, your Trendnet router will function as a wireless access point, providing additional wireless connectivity within your network.
