Can I use DAP-1720 Ethernet port to connect another router
rediranch:
Hi,
I've hooked up my DAP-1720 as a wireless extender successfully, and I have successfully plugged in a wired printer to the DAP1720 ethernet port and connected to it.
However, I would like to connect a router to the DAP1720 ethernet port and then have 3 more ethernet ports I can plug into, through the router, through the DAP-1720.
I have set the router to plug into the DAP-1720 as a static IP, but I cannot connect to it once it's plugged into the DAP-1720.
DAP-1720
HW version A1
F/W version 1.01
Region 1 (USA)

Any progress on this?
rediranch:
No, haven’t figured it out yet, or if it’s even possible
FurryNutz:
Ya not sure if a router can be connected. You might try connecting a LAN Gb switch to the port. I presume if the printer works on the LAN port of the DAP, adding a LAN switch may work.
GreenBay42:
Are you using a secondary router or the main router? You would need to get a switch to add more ports to the DAP-1720. You can use a second router but you would need to disable DHCP and put a static IP on the router.
