Can I disable WAN on this router and forward DHCP clients to another router on the network?

The stock firmware did have a bridge mode, and if you google "bridge mode on asus rt-n16" the first link shows you how to set it up. However I would firmly recomend DD-WRT if you feel up to the task of installing it.

I believe it allows you to specific dhcp server and disable wan with the stock firmware. Personally I flashed ddwrt onto the router, let's you do all of that. Quality of the product is high I recommend it.

I think you are asking if it can be an access point, the answer is yes. You may want to flash the firmware to a more recent version of Tomato, but it does support AP mode. You can also turn just about any wireless router into an AP by unplugging the WAN and disabling DHCP. The main router will hand out the DHCP for everything just fine.

I believe you can. But to be honest I'm currently running DD-WRT on it (which I know for a FACT will let you do it, I use DD-WRT on another router to do just that).

Spyer231,After double checking with my nephew, to make sure, the short answer is yes. In Tomato, you disable WAN and assign the DHCP function to another router on the LAN.

Yes, just be sure to give them separate names, like "MyNet-East" and "MyNet-West". I have two of these and set them to static IP addresses in a range not assigned by my router's DHCP host so I can always get at them to check status, update firmware, and so on.

Yes, You will need To do port forwarding, I didn't ddns instead that, I got static Ip from my Internet service provider

Yes it supports DHCP Server. Make sure you update the firmware. I believe it's supported since certain version. Commands thats I used to configure a scope: ip dhcp pool network Data_10.0.2.0/24 address low 10.0.2.21 high 10.0.2.200 255.255.255.0 domain-name lan.xxx.com default-router 10.0.2.1 dns-server 10.0.3.1 This switch is the best bang out of you buck. For less than $300 you have fanless, 1GBit layer 3 switch (static routes only and no IPv6 routing)

Yes you can.. Put them in a Group and specify that group to use Wan1 or 2..

Not sure what you're asking....can it get it's management IP from DHCP, yes. It's 100% purely a L2 switch, not an L3 router. It can also do *limited* "trusted port" settings where only certain ports are allowed to answer DHCP requests (IE have only port 2 and 3 allowed ot have the DHCP server).

Yes, but if you're existing router is also a wireless router you should disable that function in the existing router's settings.

If you mean Truly separate clients, then no, I doubt it since there is only one access list. You can however make a mock-up of that type of setup by making to separate logins between the 2, and limiting the access on the client side. I'm not sure why you'd want to though, since they will connect to the same network on the router. If I am understanding your question correctly. What the others are describing is a network, and an access point type of setup. NOT 2 distinctly separate networks. Just 2 different connection types that give you some combination of internet, and network access that you can custom filter to some extent.

I use my with the router that timewarner provides with its service. If I were you I'd Google to find out. Wish I could have been more help.

Yes, it also support multi-homing BGP. Each port can be independently configured and will accept as many WANs as you want.

yes you can, simply forward all traffic to static lan ip you want and put a rule of any traffic is permited in or out. this will open all ports to that ip and no firewall will restric it from the router. This one way, there are other ways.

No, this is a switch not a router. The ports can be managed over the network but the switch itsself can not issue IP addresses.

Yes, provided you have flashed the TP-WDR4300 firmware from it's stock version (1.7 is the most current) to the appropriate corresponding DD-WRT bin file (firmware). Make certain to refer the DD-WRT build and it matches exactly to the boiler plate version label on the router. This router does support DNSmsq, with that you will need to write a script "hosts" file. No need to to go back to each individual computer. This should block unwanted ads from any specific site. Reseacrh DD-WRT, OPENwrt, Tomato and etc...Good Luck.

There are WAN ports - here is a link to the quick start guidehttp://dl.ubnt.com/guides/edgemax/EdgeRouter_PoE_5_QSG.pdf

Yes it can but you have to configure it to do so. look up "port forwarding" Cheers

if you dont mind some latency on your network you can - tell all other connected devices to use your 'monitoring pc' IP as the gateway IP - set your 'monitoring pc' to use the real gateway IP - enable IP forwarding on your 'monitoring pc'

You define the WAN port through configuration. It was easiest for me to set port 1 as the WAN port, but any of the five can be configured as the WAN.
