Need help for wireless router + modem-router setup
 
I have a Linksys WRT54-GL wireless router and a ZyXEL 650R-31 modem router. Am confused on the setup. Both devices uses the IP 192.168.1.1. It was suggested I change the Linksys IP to 192.168.254 and turn off its DHCP server fearure. I did both and don't know how to proceeed. Can someone help with detailed instructions?

TIA,

Bill

Hi

What type of internet connection does the modem use, PPPoE or PPPoA? I don't know this ZyXEL modem, but I have the WRT-54G with a PPPoA modem router that uses half-bridging.

ADSL PPPoA DHCP to pick up ISP IP address -> half bridging enabled, NAT/ Firewall disabled -> WRT54G running hyperwrt set up with DHCP, gets passed ISP IP from modem (this is the half bridging) and runs firewalling and NAT from wrt54g. The wrt54g then issues local IP address, 192.1.0.x range to clients behind it.

cheers
Rich

Sorry for the late reply. I have my setup working fine now. The modem uses PPPoE.

I was advised to set the modem as a DHCP server and the WRT54-GL DHCP server feature set to off. The PC is connected to one of the WRT54-GL LAN ports. Another of the WRT54-GL LAN ports is connected to the modem. The WRT54-GL Uplink port is not used.

The WRT54-GL IP was changed to 192.168.1.254 from the default 192.168.1.1.

Hi

I'm no expert on PPPoE, but can you set the modem to bridge mode and thus pass outside traffic on to the wrt54g and let it handle the username and password for PPPoE connection? Then you would set your wrt54g to dhcp and issue ip address on your local lan.

If no joy, I'd suggest trying the Linksys forums,
Linksysinfo there is probably more specific help there.

Richie, in my last post, I said everything is now working and listed the steps recommended to me.

Thanks for your input.
