I need help in converting an old modem/router into an ethernet switch. There are a number of web articles that describe how to do this. It seems such a simple 5-minute task, but I got nowhere after 5 hours.
My main network router is a Netgear R6400v2 model with four ethernet ports which are all in use. I will be replacing the Netgear with an Apple AirPort Extreme with three ports. I will need another port. My ethernet VOIP adapter is an old iiNet Bob Lite modem/router which has four ethernet ports. Netgear has no problems with this and allocates “Bob phone” an IP address in its standard range. How can I get the three “spare” Bob Lite ports functional? Just plugging an iMac into a spare ethernet port will sometimes just work, but then fails if restarted. The Bob IP Address is 10.1.1.1 while Netgear IP address is 192.168.1.1. I tried changing the Bob IP address to 192.169.1.99, but could no longer access the modem set-up page.
