Re: Wireless router for ISDN
said by aeblank  :said by mark42 :But it bypasses all the router function, and makes the Cisco 804 behave like a simple modem. Eh? All that is, is an "uplink" port that allows you to connect a switch (non-client device). Routing functions are still there. . . . You are right, but I am fairly sure that when using the hub port, the other network ports are disabled, although its been a while since I messed with ISDN/Cisco. I'm trying to keep things simple for a newbie.
Atorrin,
You want to have the "hub no-hub" button pushed in for it to work with your existing router. The firewall will still work, but I'm not sure if the other 3 ports will work.
See if you can download the FastStep program from Cisco, and get a RJ45 to Comm port adapter, so you can run a network cable from the blue port to the comm port on the PC. Then the FastStep program will work. If FastStep does not work with a network cable, you will have to get the blue ribbon cable, or crip your own.
Otherwise, get familiar with HyperTerminal. You should be able to read about using it on this forum.

| but I'm not sure if the other 3 ports will work. I'm like 95% positive they do still work. I think it is cleaner to not use them, but that's just me.
I have my 804 plugged in to a 24 port switch, which then provides network for my various computers, replaytvs, and a wireless access point (varies, but right now the *original* apple airport).
You could easily have 3 devices on the 804, with the 4th being the wireless access point, and then 3 more devices plugged into the wireless access point. Either way *works*. | |
