   On this stock Linksys v1.02.8 firmware, there is no DHCP "Disabled" option   
    So, "Automatic Configuration - DHCP" is the default   
    If nothing is plugged into the WAN port, the router simply does nothing   
    It does not broadcast WAN DHCP   
    It does not affect SSID broadcasting   
    It does not affect your Apple WPS / _nomap test   
    It does not interfere with LAN DHCP (which is disabled)   
      
   So I only need to change the test setup from:   
    WAN Connection Type: Disabled   
   To:   
    WAN Connection Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP   
      
   And, apparently Linksys also saves a bin file (and not a cfg file).

   Now I'll set up the middle router test.
