Topic: wndr3700v1 - dumb AP mode

Hi,
I successfully built and installed OpenWRT [trunk] on my wndr3700v1.  I am using it as an AP by connecting a LAN port to anther router on my home network.  I recently found this <WNDR3700: bridging WAN and LAN ports> and this <Dumb AP>.  I am wondering if by using this configuration:
(1) Keeping everything the same, I can use the WAN port to connect to the main router instead of a LAN port ?
(2) I'd have full four LAN ports ?
(3) And how do I access the router after the configuration is changed and (in case) the bridge does not work ?
Thanks.

Great.  Thanks.

The discussion might have continued from here.
