Using wireless internet as source and providing wired internet connectivity in router

Post by lesacramento »

Hi all,
Is there a way to use a router with wireless capabilities to do the following:
* Connect to a wireless internet in range
* Provide internet to wired connections through the wireless internet it connects to
* I'd like to be able to assign static IPv4 addresses to the devices that connect to the router via wired connections
Please note, this is different from using a router as a range extender as the source of the internet connection is wireless and the user terminals are wired

Yes, this mode is supported by Gargoyle.

Set the Gargoyle router as the Gateway and set the WAN as the WiFi client.
