    Question WLAN<>LAN network in gateway mode?

    Is there a way in gateway mode to exchange data between WLAN & LAN?

    ================================================== =====

    Currently my 500g is setup in gateway mode. I can access the internet from wired-lan (LAN) and wireless-LAN (WLAN)

    However I want to exchange files between the LAN and WLAN. Gateway mode assigns a different subnet to LAN and WLAN. So there is no possibility that these two subnets can exchange data.

    I could set the router to access point, then LAN and WLAN are in the same subnet. Then XP will see both computers, I can setup shares and exchange data. But then I will loose all the WAN options of the router!

    ================================================== =====

    so well why don't you put the WLAN in the same subnet?

    Ehm, ... how do I do that?

    I browsed through the manual and saw on page 44 - IP Config > WAN & LAN > LAN IP Setting > IP address - however this will only effect the wired ones ... right? I can't find anything about this setting for WLAN.

    Or should I specify a fixed ip address in XP in the same subnet as the LAN iso using DHCP?

    Thanks!

    wireless firewall does not exist anymore in 1.8.x.x firmwares

    by mentioning firmware version I could have given the answer before

    and at last it's in the manual
