Hi all,

I've just purchased a Draytek 2860ac to replace my aging Draytek 2830n router.

I'd like to be able to put the old Draytek to use, so was thinking of using it as a Wireless Access Point.

My question is... Is this achievable? What steps do I need to take in order to use my old Draytek as a Wireless Access Point?

Also, will doing this stop ac working on my new router (as the old router only supports 802.11n)

Thanks.

Just put it onto a different IP address from your main router, on the same subnet. Then turn off the 2830n's DHCP server.

The 2830n is a 2.4GHz 802.11n access point, while the 2860ac has both an 802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11ac radio. Having two 802.11n 2.4GHz APs won't reduce speeds for your 802.11ac clients
