Edimax 6204 Acc Router: Configuring as a Switch & WiFi for Local Network Sharing

Hello,
I have a company router edimax 6204 Acc , my problem is that after connecting the router to the Internet cable, the computer no longer detects my local network, only the network that the router creates ... and now my question is whether it is possible to do so that the router does not create a new network only it worked as a switch and wifi (the point is that at home I have a laptop and several devices that need wifi to work). wants to be visible in this neighborhood network to be able to download files and share them ...
Can you do something like that?
Thank you in advance for your help

To make a lan / wifi switch from the router:
- leave the WAN port empty, we only connect via LAN ports
- Disable DHCP server on the router
- optionally change the router's LAN IP to be compatible with the router's Internet network, but outside the scope of the server's DHCP.

that is:
--- internet --- [router1] === (lan port) [edimax])) ((laptops ....
[edimax] (lan port) ==== [computer] ...

DHCP disconnected the cable from the WAN, disconnected and connected to the output right next to the WAN port, but now I don't have internet at all, I don't know why ...

Set up your computer as instructed by your ISP. We are not fortune tellers and we do not know if he assigned you internet based on DHCP - e.g. for one network card according to MAC address, or if you have to enter the network settings manually. It's best to take a look at the router, what parameters you have entered for its WAN interface.

my friend as-max it wasn't what you meant at all
My friend helped me the most bogiebog and I have already dealt with this problem, the inscription "WAM" helped me, so I entered the WAN settings and set a certain option there, I do not remember its name, but I had to choose "Ethernet" and some 2 more options, I chose the one that was in the middle and it works
I wanted to tell you exactly what this option was called, but I can not enter the settings of my router now, I think it has automatically changed its IP and therefore I cannot enter now, but the fact is that it works
thanks for your help and best regards

buddy @SmartBug even though everything works, maybe describe to us in more detail your system, because I think you only have one router, this edimax, and there is no [router1] box as I assumed it.
In this case, i.e. you only have one router, this edimax should share the link from the provider with the WAN port, i.e .:

== vendor-cable === (WAN port) [edixmax] (LAN + wifi ports) === (your computers)

Is there a local area network on the (WAN port) side of the router?
And there you want to have access to computers (colleagues)?
Do you have _MULTI_ IP addresses from the administrator of the estate network? because if not, you have to share the one IP you have from the provider with the WAN port of your router to many computers in your home.

the situation is that we have one output ip and if you have set up the signal, it looks like this: external network -> router 1 (making its own LAN network where my friends are) ---> my router (my wifi devices and computer plugged into the LAN port)
I did as you said, I turned off DHCP and changed the options in the router settings, I just don't remember what it was and I can not check what it was called because if I enter the IP of the router, it does not respond But the bottom line is that I can see computers from my old network (the one created by my router) and through this router 1 (where there is a neighborhood network and my friends)
It looks like this but I'm surprised that I can't get on my router

It had to be done

optional, because it works without it, but to enter the configuration of your router you have to make other "efforts".

See what is your neighborhood network address now ("ipconfig" from cmd.exe window), and set your router's IP to "match" with your neighborhood network address.
For example, the community network has 192.168.0.1a and the DHCP server (or manually) assigns the ip addresses 192.168.0.x, and that's your IP now.
the router is factory-set to 192.168.2.1 so it's "off" the network and you won't get into it with 192.168.0.x.
Set the ip of your network adapter _manually_ to 192.168.2.100 and go to http://192.168.2.1, then change the LAN IP (not WAN) to 192.168.0. ??? so that there is no ip conflict with computers in the 192.168.0.x network. For example, if the DHCP range is 192.168.0.100-200, it will select another address that is not in this range and does not conflict with manually assigned 192.168.0.x addresses in the network, e.g. 192.168.0.189. After that, set the card's IP again automatically or manually as you had and you can "enter" your router. Only set a different password than the factory one on the router so that these colleagues do not mix up something.

so this is from my ipconfig:

Connection Specific DNS Suffix: WAG325N
Local connection IPv6 address. : fe80 :: 5d4a: fee2: 8bf: d59b% 11
IPv4 address. . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.111
Subnet mask. . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Deafult Gateway. . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

Okay I think I need to change the default gateway from 192.168.1.1 to the address that my router had, i.e. 192.168.2.1 ?

Buddy on the back under the antenna, see if you have a small On-Off switch, if there is, you probably have it on OFF - switch and then search for the network.

heh, however, I did as I said, I changed the default gate to the one from my router and, however, the site from him turned on also everything works as I wanted
And the options I had to choose from are the ones in the screenshot in the attachment.
From all these options, I chose: Wireless ISP (AP Enabled)

no

Edimax's LAN IP should be set to 192.168.1.xxx e.g. 192.168.1.231 (find out if x.231 will not conflict with other computers on the network)

but to get to the configuration you need to temporarily change the IP address of the card in the computer to 192.168.2.100

and in the WAN configuration, you can set anything you want and it will have no effect because the WAN port is empty.

okay, now that we have solved all the problems, tell me why after changing the settings in the router and pressing "Apply" the router cannot turn on after the reset because there is no internet and no access to it, only after disconnecting it from the power supply and reconnecting it works fine .. What is this fault?

Describe and attach everything you change before clicking [apply]
