I recently got the free Shaw SMC WiFi/modem/router. Since I have more than 4 hard wired connections, I want to use my old Belkin N+ router as a simple switch.
I have tried the following on the Belkin. I turned off WiFi, and DHCP. I also set the Router IP to an IP on the network (192.168.0.22).
I reach my SMC admin page at 192.168.0.1
I then plug LAN 1 from the SMC to the modem port on the Belkin. I then plug my laptop into LAN 1 on the Belkin, expecting internet, but it doesn't work.
I admit, I am not a networking expert, my background is Comp Sci. So if there are any network guys who can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!
