    I have a friend I am helping. He has a home network - Everything coming off the main router is 10.1.1.XXX
    He added a Cisco RV120 because he needed Wireless. Everything coming off it is 192.168.1.xxx

    NOW. I need to make it so that the Cisco is more of an Access Point than a Router.
    I need to not have it give out ip address but to pass through the ip address from the main DHCP

    I am unsure how to do it. The Cisco configuration seems a bit different
    There does not seem to be an easy way to do it.
    I thought I should be done in the LAN setting but disabling it there
    seems nothing is getting an IP address at all

    So the question is how to I get the Wireless connection but still be in the main IP Address
    (He has wireless printers that will need to be used by all the computers whether they are
    connected via wireless or ethernet)

    Thanks in Advance

    not sure it has the required protocol to do so, only a relay. But just in case check out the latest firmware ,btw , Mac address reset needs to be unplugged for 10min other wise setting will be kept without change regardless of what you do

    What you're wanting to do is bridge the AP. Look for something that gives you the options of Router, AP or Bridge mode.

    I thought as much.
    I have been googling and trying to find it in the particular model.
    Cisco seems so different than other routers

    Where it has DHCP Mode the options are DHCP RELAY and NONE
    When in RELAY mode - the other computers are not picking up an IP Address at all
    I cannot set the IP for the 10.1.xxx.xxx mode

    For DHCP Mode, select none. This essentially turns it into bridge mode.

    If you do not setup a static IP address, you will not be able to access the router once you place DHCP in NONE. Its not that big of a deal if doing a factory reset is an option. If you do setup a static IP address, you'll want to ensure it will not conflict with any devices in the network that maybe statically assigned. You should be safe making it 10.1.1.200+ ... or just setting it up to a 192.168.1.1 scheme. Whatever you end up setting it up as, make sure you make note of it.

    I set the Static IP (on the wan)

    (these are screen shots from generic setup but this is how I set it up)
    The issue is that the LAN

    [​IMG]

    I cannot set it up to be in the same 10.1.xxx.xxx here as in the wan.
    I am not sure if I need too.
    I tried it in the three states of NONE, DHCP RELAY and DHCP SERVER
    Tried with the DNS Proxy enabled and disabled.

    My googling is telling me I might need the CISCO on both ends
    Some configuring of the MAC Addresses
