Which is where your links lead me. > Jumping a bit late in the conversation here and you are probably sorted now but my wireless at home is just like this. My wireless AP is actualy a router (but with a WAN interface not an adsl interface). I ignore the WAN and just use the wireless part and the 4 ethernet ports as a hub. Other routers will behave the same. I have a netgear wireless router at work and it will function without the adsl connected, the only caveat is that if it is acting as a DHCP server and it is not the gateway router it will (probably) not be able to tell the dhcp clients about the DNS servers. Basicly the router that is the gateway probably should be the DHCP server as well (unless you have a dedicated dhcp server etc...) Robin
