WRT54G as AP no routing..

Hi,

Can I use a WRT54GS with stock linksys firmware as AP with just connecting a
network cable to one of the LAN ports and assign a static LAN IP? I don't
want any routing, just to extend a cabled network a bit.

If yes, which 'Internet connection type' do I select (if it does matter at
all as I don't use the WAN port).

Finally, can I run a WRT54GS with stock linksys fw also as wireless client
to the above AP?

thanks for comments ;-)

Yes. See the FAQ at:

for details.

Doesn't matter since you're NOT using the router section. Do not plug
anything into the WAN (internet) port.

No. That will require alternative firmware. See:
