Setting up MN700 without broadband connection?

Hi,
The guys in the box store said I could setup my network
at home without a broadband connection. We will have
ADSL end of the year but I want to network now using ICS
for internet until we get highspeed. Preferably without
having to buy more gear only to toss it later when I get
broadband. Can this be done with the mn700 along with my
laptop and another pc?

Thanks for any help.

Yes. Probably the most convenient way is to set the
desktop as the dialup PC (so the laptop can be used
wirelessly -- i.e. if you have a wireless adapter on it;
otherwise just wire both into the router). The desktop
will need to be on for the laptop to access the Internet.

Roughly three steps.

STEP 1: Configure the router into bridge mode. Connect
the PC into port 1 of the modem and configure it into
bridge mode. Also disable the WAN connection. You can do
this manually by using IE and accessing the router at
http://192.168.2.1 (password is admin).

STEP 2: Enable ICS on the desktop PC. Use the network
wizard.

STEP 3: Reconfigure the laptop to connect wirelessly (if
using a wireless card) and through ICS, using the network
wizard.
