What do you want to do to it? Did you buy a new router and want to use it to extend the network?

If so, set it up as an access point. I believe that there may be issues though, in H2 for some reason each LAN port can only get one DHCP IP so a router set up as an AP can't handle more than one DHCP connection at once.

If this is an existing router that got misconfigured, I think its best if you talk to CC. They may have some different settings.

Hostel 5 has a wifi router installed in its comp room.

Hostel 5's comp room is not connected to LAN. CC disconnected it when they moved H5's switches from comp room to "server room".

@Nirav: You can't do anything about it. The Wifi router is all set-up already. Just get the hostel SysAd to connect tho comp room to a LAN switch
