I did.  The print manual has no index and only
one page where it states that it can be set up as
an Access Point.  And, the documentation available
at the Belkin website is much better than their
print manual.  The router can be configured via a
web-based interface.

Only I had a great deal of difficulty using it
because I edited setup.cmd but forgot to edit
protocol.ini, so it was still loading fxwrap.sys
in front of the NIC.  I'll uninstall it before I
begin again.  All of the router lights indicated
that the hardware was properly connected and
functioning.  It just kept searching fruitlessly
for a connection.

But, perhaps I don't understand the process well
enough.  Is there any online -- or print --
tutorial that would help me to at least avoid
elementary mistakes before I dive in again?

TIA,

- Mark
