Goodbye and Good Riddance CenturyLink

[brutal]

I believe you need something on the network handing out IPs, such as a router. I dont think the AP will do it. You can disable your router wifi and just use it for addressing.

It is "just an Access Point (AP)."

It is awful fancy. It does do DHCP and tons of other stuff.

I have an enterprise class firewall here (that is my DHCP server) and prefer to use that between my network and ISP (cable modem) box.

Separate devices usually perform better overall and I'm not locked into whatever crap WiFi is built into the ISP's box.

My network stability immediately improved with this and it now overpowers the surrounding wifi networks by a healthy margin. Such was not the case with the aging linksys WAP54G I'm going to stick a bullet in some day.

ETA: Does not do DHCP. The settings are in the controller software, but it's only for their router and firewall products.
