Can I use my Linksys Wireless router on LAN side of Ebox?
« on: February 02, 2009, 05:03:29 pm »
If I replace my Linksys wireless router with Ebox can I still use it on the LAN side of Ebox so all my desktops can still use wireless NICs to connect to network?

I'm afraid to tell you that eBox UI does not support wifi interfaces neither access point interface. :(

If your linksys router is a stand alone box and the connection to the ebox is a cable then you should be fine.  However if as the previous poster (sixstone) said if the Linksys is not a separate stand alone box but a wireless access device that is directly connected to the ebox you may be toast....  How ever I think you have the stand alone linksys router, I have several WRT54G's of various flavors and versions.
