Use an old wifi router as just a wired router (no wireless)
So I have an old netgear WNDR3700, I don't use it anymore since I got a newer router. But I'm wondering if I can just use it as a wired "splitter" since I have a wired Ethernet to the living room, but its just one wire. I would like to use it for a couple of devices. Would love to make use of something I would otherwise toss out. Save on cash and the environment I guess.
Can I disable the wifi completely?
Is there anything else I need to do to make it work? The wired ethernet is coming from the basement, connected to my other router. For now I tried just connected it as is, but it doesn't seem to work properly (Internet light is orange, and no internet).
Thanks!
