Hi all, I switched to a new internet service provider, but I have my old qwest dsl modem, with wireless gateway, it's made by actiontec. My question is can I use this as a wireless access point, on one of my computers, like a wireless usb device, because it has a usb attachment on it?

Maybe, if you wire it into another router and disable the DHCP features.

I tried that and it didn't do anthing. Thanks for the quick response, I may just have to spend the 50 bucks ona belkin adapter.
