Yeah, I think it's a poor design for the application, I found no way
to shut it off. We have been connecting to the WAN on my router. All
they have is what appears to be two identical Ethernet portss on the
modem-router, both seem to work for conncting my Ethernet LAN.
However I have not been able to pass that data through my router to
the LAN or the wifi signal. Their wifi signal is what the iPhone and
iPads are using now ... I may be doing something wrong in the
security configuration?
Presumably, their router is pre-configured to use dhcp, so when
wiring your router to theirs, yours should be c onfigured to use
dhcp on the WAN side. I've seen this done before and it works fine
in those cases.
As for disablinig the wifi on their router, if you can't log into
it from the wired lan, maybe you can detach its wifi antenna?
Good luck!
