Can it work as an access point? null

It's just a router, you will need to use it with a modem too.

Yes... when you get the router, get into the router settings before hooking it to the network and disable the DHCP servers on it... that that point, it will be like an access point. it will not assign IP addresses and can connect behind any existing switch or router. This is what i have done with several of my old routers since now my cable company box is the modem and router in one and i don't feel like having cascading routers.

Yes, Pablo. The Linksys EA8500 Wireless-AC Dual-Band Smart Wi-Fi Router can work as an access point.
