Disable Wireless Pace 4111N-030
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2017 4:51 pm
Hello -
Using a Pace 4111N-030. Info and setup to follow:
Model: 4111N-030
Hardware Version: 2701-000816-003
Software Version: 9.5.1.53.2
connected via ethernet to:
Apple Airport Extreme (with backup disk connected via USB)
Goal: turn off wireless on Pace modem/router; reroute internet traffic via ethernet only to the Airport Extreme. Use Airport Extreme for wireless connectivity.
Steps:
Typically I would turn the wireless on to bridge mode, but Sonic tech support pages recommended using LAN subports (https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/Pace_4111N#Bridge_mode). I turned on LAN subports (Broadband > Link Configuration) and configured ethernet port 1 to map to Primary connection. I hit "save" and am launched to a gateway interface login page.
I then go to the Home tab, click the Wireless icon and attempt to disable wireless routing by deselecting "Default: Enabled" and scroll down to the first instance of a "save" button on the page. Same thing happens: I'm launched out to the gateway interface login asking for a password.
In neither case does the modem seem to restart and accept the new settings.
How do I get these settings to take, and stick?
Thank you.
