Hi got a problem here.. hope you all can help me out by your suggestions.

I've gor maxis wireless broadband currently and want to set-up a wireless AP. The reason I bought the Dlink DSL2640T (wireless modem+router+4 ports) is the in the future i want to shift back to fixed line, so no need to buy another modem.

My question is now : How do I disable all functionality of the routing and modem so that it'll be just a wirelless AP.

I've done the following after reading some forums but still can't access the internet.

(1) Set-up the IP address of the Dlink in the same subnet of the network but out of the range the maxis modem DHCP range.
(2) Disabled DHCP on the Dlink.

The result is that :
(1) i can connect to the wireless AP but can't access internet using my wireless.
(2) BUT if i use the wired connection (4 ports on the Dlink), with two PCs connected - both can access the internet.

my guess is that I've missed out something in the filtering settings and so forth in the advanced settings.

Hope you gurus there can help me out... Thanks

You need a 3G access point.
AFAIK, 2640T is not capable of doing that.

When you can connect to the wireless, check your IP configuration and see if you get the proper IP from the maxis modem yo.
