Y'er right. The F4D7230-4 works differently than the Belkin something
that I played with and described. See manual at:
| http://www.belkin.com/support/downlo...4_man_6-04.pdf
Page 64.

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced
users only. The Router can be configured to work as a wireless
network access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing
feature and DHCP server. In Access Point (AP) mode, the Router will
need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet
as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP
address is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can
be customized for your need.
(...)
The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router’s
advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified
into your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption
settings, MAC address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.

Ok, it's safe to use the Belkin "access point mode".
