All you do is disable DHCP. As far as I know, you can still do that. I *know* you can do that on WRT54G and WRT54GL, the GS might be different, but I wouldn't think so. If you want them just as a switch, don't use the port labeled WAN obviously. However, loading tomato or such does give you a bit more options as far as configuration goes, and might be worth the effort anyways.    I have been a failure at that.   Must be something missing.   Here is the configuration (some parts snipped out) Notes: Gateway is 192.168.15.2 Plugin 12v only.
