Took advice found on this forum & purchased E1500 N300 refurb to use as AP. Followed setup instructions in Tim's articles and it is working, but not sure about some of the settings & would appreciate it if someone w/ more experience would guide me:
1) Internet Connection Type: set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP
Other choices: Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, Telstra Cable, Bridge Mode
2a) Wi-Fi Protected Setup: set to Manual
Other choices: Wi-Fi Protected Setup with WPS either Enabled or Disabled
2b) 2.4 GHz Wireless Settings
Network Mode: set to Mixed
Channel Width: set to Auto (20 MHz or 40 MHz)
Channel: set to Auto
3) UPnP: set to Disabled (this was recommended in an article on another site)
