[QUOTE="Quietone, post: 1533718, member: 299083"] [COLOR="Blue"]OK it looks like I may need a physical unit to make a base station, can't do it just with the software, or I could dig out my old netgear unit, but I thought because there seems to be a router in the modem, I could set it up without the other unit.
