   How do I convert my second Router into a   
   11 Feb 14 07:59:53   
   
   Hi everyone,						February 11, 2014   
      
   I would like to use my Sitecom router as an access point. Is this the way to   
   do it?   
      
   I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and I have a Ubee UVW-3200 cable Modem/Router.   
   On port 1, I connect a second Sitecom Wi-Wi Router AC1750 WLR-8100 connected   
   to its WAN port.   
      
   I would like my Sitecom Router to become an Access Point with the same (2.4   
   GHz) SSID  as the Ubee Modem/Router, so that I can "roam" throughout the house   
   without losing signal. The 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi of the Sitecom AP should still be   
   useable when within    
   reach.   
      
   Current configuration settings (Sitecom as Router):   
   			Ubee Router		Sitecom Router   
      
   LAN IP adres:		192.168.178.1		192.168.10.1   
   DHCP Server:		Enabled			Enabled   
   Ipv4 address:		192.168.178.10		192.168.178.10   
   DHCP Status:		No DHCP clients		Show all clients   
   2.4 GHz Radio:		Disabled		Enabled   
   5.0 GHz Radio:		N/A			Enabled   
   2.4 GHz - SSID:		Ziggo5C5CC		Sitecom0F7FF1   
   2.4 GHz channel:	Disabled		Automatic   
   5.0 GHz channel:	N/A			Automatic   
   2.4 GHz security:	WPA+PSK		        WPA+PSK   
   2.4 GHz password	Ubee's own PW		Sitecom's own PW   
   5.0 GHz - SSID:		N/A			Sitecom0F7FF2   
   5.0 GHz security:	N/A			WPA+PSK   
   5.0 GHz password:	N/A			Sitecom's own PW   
   Network connection:	LAN Port 1		WAN Port   
      
   Proposed configuration settings (Sitecom as Access Point):   
   			Ubee Router		Sitecom Access Point   
      
   LAN IP address:		192.168.178.1		192.168.178.2   
   DHCP Server:		Enabled			Disabled   
   Ipv4 address:		192.168.178.10		N/A   
   DHCP Status:		Show all clients	N/A   
   2.4 GHz Radio:		Enabled			Enabled   
   5.0 GHz Radio:		N/A			Enabled   
   2.4 GHz - SSID:		Ziggo5C5CC		Ziggo5C5CC   
   2.4 GHz channel:	1, 6, 11, or Auto	1, 6, 11, or Auto   
   5.0 GHz channel:	N/A			Automatic   
   2.4 GHz security:	WPA+PSK		        WPA+PSK   
   2.4 GHz - password:	Ubee's own PW		Ubee's own PW   
   5.0 GHz SSID:		N/A			Sitecom0F7FF2   
   5.0 GHz security:	N/A			WPA+PSK   
   5.0 GHz password	N/A			Sitecom's own PW   
   Network connection:	LAN Port 1		LAN Port 1   
      
   Questions:   
   1. Will this configuration work as intended?   
   2. Can I have the same 2.4 GHz SSID (Ziggo5C5CC) on my Ubee Router and my   
   Sitecom AP?   
   3. Will I still have cabled internet on my Sitecom AP?   
   4. Will I still have Wi-Fi internet on 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz of my Sitecom AP?   
   5. With its DHCP disabled, can I still acces the Sitecom AP configuration page   
   through my PC browser when using the Windows 7 TCP/IPv4 configuration of   
   "obtaining an IP address automatically", or do I have to use the Windows 7 PC   
   TCP/Ipv4 configuration    
   of "use the following IP address:", and enter the new Sitecom LAN IP address   
   of: 192.168.178.2?   
      
   If I do not do things right, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.   
      
   Many Thanks,
