Airport Extreme: Bridge and Router at the same time?

[nightelf]

Hello,

Is it possible to configure the new dual-band Airport Extreme to work as a switch (no DHCP) on the ethernet ports, but as a normal router (DHCP activated) on Wi-Fi?

My current setup is Cable Modem > Ethernet Switch > Airport Express

I have 2 Macs connected to the Ethernet Switch to use 2 public IPs (not shared). My iPhone, MBP and Wii share a 3rd public IP using the Airport Express. I would like to simplify my setup and use Wi-Fi N with my MBP.

No.

But, if you want, why not just replace your express with the extreme?

So, Cable Modem > Ethernet Switch > Airport Extreme


The switch would go into the WAN port on the Extreme, and would also serve DHCP addresses to the wireless clients.
