How do I disable routing in a wireless router?
I want my router to send a wireless signal without assigning ip addresses. I am in a school and have received two wireless routers to expand our wireless network. I want my machines to get their ip address from our main network not from the wireless routers. Can I turn these routers into just signal senders?

turn off the dhcp on the secondary routers.connect the main router to the others LAN port to LAN. not LAN port to WAN.

Some routers have procedures to turn them into access points only, which essentially turns the routing/dhcp off. Google around, or give us the make and model.
