The N55U is not a simple switch or access point and is not set to work that way by default. you can easily daisy chain routers,DHCP on lan not needed, wan ports are not needed (set to LAN to static IP to match the rest of the network) Can be done LAN port to LAN port (or Lan to WAN port) . Can leave NAT translation on the 2nd router, it still works If he can plug in a laptop & get internet acess, he can then also Daisey chain wifi routers or Wifi access points. Is some minor config required on the 2nd/new wifi router(AP) but its do-able DHCP passthrough is not necessary for internet connections when daisey chaining routers Turn off DHCP and a routers LAN ports act like a simple switch (sort of, need static IP set) Maybee that N55u had the currently used LAN port reassigned to WAN .Unlikely The N55u seems just another dsl home modem router , perhaps it has additional functionals? Are we all even looking at the same product ? www.asus.com www.asus.com all assuming there is no MAC filtering setup by IT, but that seems unlikely otherwise no other/new laptops could get access.......	1101 (13337)

1397197	2015-03-27 09:58:00	Yes thats how its set up in my uni, so what will i be required to do? find the mac address and copy that to my router? from then on can i just use it wirelessly without wiring to the router? First of all, just reset the router and plug the WAN into the ethernet in the wall. Then see if the internet works through the router. Otherwise if you get an error, find the MAC address of your computer, then copy it onto the router and it should work.	sahilcc7 (15483)
