Wes,
Here's the setup I tried:
Laptop (IP address 192.168.55.2) -> LinkSys 4-port switch
Ubiquiti router (default IP address 192.168.1.1) -> LinkSys 4-port
switch
LinkSys switch -> LAN router (IP address 192.168.55.4)
This won't work for configuring the replacement router because the
current router already has the IP address of 192.168.55.4. After setting
the Ubiquiti's LAN IP address to the default router address there would be
two hosts with that address. So, until the new router is completely
configured and replaces the Netgear I need to keep rebooting the laptop as I
change its IP address from one subnet to the other.
Thanks,
Rich
