@Tony thankyou for the reply tony, I will try your instructions. should I use router mode and try to disable nat and dhcp and all that?

and I noticed my interface is different from other c2300 v1s... why is that?.... is it because im in access point mode? like half my options arent there compared to other interface screenshots.

my log also fills up crazy fast 31 pages now and was just rebooted a few hours ago....talks about recieving dhcp ack from my dhcp server for the same ip over and over and over again.. weirdly enough...

Im having serious issues with my router. I have it put on access point mode and everything else pretty much disabled....static ip no auto dhcp....auto dhcp is dumb. but this thing seems to lock up...
