[22:12] <cyberanger> out where?
[22:12] <cyberanger> lol what's up orangeninja
[22:12] <orangeninja> cyberanger: what's happing bro.
[22:13] <cyberanger> orangeninja: not much, you?
[22:13] <orangeninja> I was wondering, could an old MN-100 router be used as a switch on my home network?
[22:14] <orangeninja> nothing much just messing around in my computer lab....LOL!
[22:15] <orangeninja> for some reason, I think I read where one might could use and old router as a switch... but I could be totally off base here.
[22:25] <cyberanger> orangeninja: don't know the model
[22:28] <cyberanger> but in general, it can be done, as long as the device supports it

[22:28] <orangeninja> what would I be looking for to know if it is supported?
[22:29] <orangeninja> specificlly "Switch" support? ...lol  sorry I'm clueless
[22:31] <cyberanger> this is a microsoft router?
[22:31] <orangeninja> yep OLD router I found in a box
[22:32] <cyberanger> idk if I'd bother, based on manufactuer
[22:32] <orangeninja> LOL I also have a netgear  WNR1000 comcast/xfinity sent me
[22:33] <cyberanger> either it has a mode in the actual settings like the dd-wrt type firmware
[22:33] <cyberanger> or an ability to disable the dhcp server at least
[22:35] <orangeninja> that's what I think I read.... turn off DHCP and it was a switch. don't know if it is that simple though.... GUess I could take 50 dollars and buy one.
[22:39] <cyberanger> don't think it's that high lately
[22:40] <orangeninja> yeah
