Problem: my router is better than the router in the T3200M. But the T3200M’s WiFi is better than my router’s WiFi because it supports 5Ghz.
Solution: using the T3200M as an access point.
-
Log in to the T3200M as admin, then navigate to Advanced Setup >> LAN IP Settings. Configure the T3200M with a LAN IP address in the same subnet as your primary router. My primary router is 192.168.1.1 so I set the T3200M to 192.168.1.2. You can use any valid IP.
-
Configure your computer with a static IP. I used 192.168.1.3.
-
Connect a network cable between a LAN port of your primary router and a LAN (not WAN) port of your T3200M.
-
Return to the T3200M’s LAN IP Settings page.
-
Load the Tamper Data extension for Firefox and click the Start Tamper button.
-
Click the Apply button from within the T3200M’s configuration, and then the Tamper button from within Tamper Data.
-
Do not change enblDhcpSrv.
-
Set dhcpEthStart to 192.168.1.250 and dhcpEthEnd to 192.168.1.249 and press OK.
-
You may now set your computer to use DHCP if you wish, or leave it the way it is.
With an ending IP address less than the beginning IP address, the T3200M’s DHCP server fails to run. Wireless clients will be assigned IP addresses by your primary router’s DHCP server.
