DSL Modem + Linksys Router

Hello
I have DSL Modem connected with linksys router and linksys router is connected with normal switch all our workstations are directly connected with switch. now let me tell you the configuration also.
DSL MODEM
ISP DEDICATED IP : ***.***.**.**
LOCAL IP : 192.168.1.1
DHCP ENABLED
LINKSYSROUTER
DHCP ENABLED
LOCAL IP: 192.168.2.1
LINK IP: 192.168.1.5 (Assigned by DSL MODEM DHCP)
DNS: Assigned by DSL Modem
WORKSTATION
LOCAL IP: Assigned by Linksys router for e.g 192.168.2.100
Now my problem is that after every one hour we get disconnect from the router when we ping the router 192.168.2.1 from workstation it says "Request timed out" and when we give a power cycle to router its repling by ping command, I am also using WLAN on this router.

Why so difficult?
DSL MODEM
ISP DEDICATED IP : ***.***.**.**
LOCAL IP : 192.168.1.1
DHCP ENABLED
set dhcp range from .50 to .200
LINKSYSROUTER
DHCP disabled
LOCAL IP: 192.168.1.2
LINK IP: not used, only use the router side(wan=empty)
DNS: fixed to 192.168.1.1
WORKSTATION
LOCAL IP: Assigned by DSL for e.g 192.168.1.50...200
You might need to add a static LAN route on the linksys like
192.168.1.0 -> 192.168.1.1 (mask 255.255.255.0)

Connecting Timemachine to Verizon DSL modem/wirelss router

How can I successfully connect my Timemachine to a Verizon GT704WG DSL modem/wireless router? Set-up I tried: The DSL line (reg. phone wire) is connected to the Verizon device. I connected the Timemachine to the router via ethernet. On my Verizon Network (loggin in via the browser) I can see the device connected. But the Timemachine keeps blinking Orange (error I assume). I cannot see the device via my MacBook pro in AirPort Utility (when trying to open TimeMachine). I also cannot click on manual set-up (option not available - grayed out).
Question: Is it possible to connect Apple's Timemachine to another DSL wireless router via ethernet. Are there setting I must use to make the timemachine available, since the DSL router recognizes the device. How does one set this networking configureation up - or are there other devices I need as an intermitted relay - and will thise hamper troughput?
PS: My DSL router does not have a firewall set-up for the connection to the Timemachine. I allowed all rules for the device. DHCP is dynamic.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Thank you Neturonboy for asking this question and thank you Tesserax for answering it. It's amazing that Verion's site has nothing about this; they do mention the Time Capsule, but nothing about this typical configuration. I have the GT784WNV model DSL modem/router, which is probably similar to yours. As soon as I turned Connection Sharring Off (Bridge Bode) and updated changes it worked.
However, I couldn't find where to do this at first using Mac OS X Lion. Luckily, I had an older laptop, which had the more familiar looking AirPort Utility version 5.4.2 you're talking about. After I had switched to Bridge Mode, I went back to Lion's version and could easily see where this setting is located. In Lion's (10.7.4) AirPort Utility, click on the image of your Time Capsule (there is no "Manual Setup" button in Lion), then select Network (not Internet), then change Router Mode (not Connection Sharing): to Off (Bridge Mode).
About Guest Networks:
Note, if you have a Guest Network, then once you go to Bridge Mode, this feature is turned off; the whole Guest Network tab disappears from the choices under Airport (using the older AirPort Utility). Since these Verizon modem/routers are also wireless, your guests can access the network directly from Verizon's router instead of going through your Time Capsule. Perhaps having a wireless router feature for your DSL modem makes the Time Capsule's Guest Network option redundant. You can get the network name, and other security information from the label on Verizon's router, but there is also a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature that looks like it might be useful for sharing your network. There's a physical button on the modem and there's a settings page on the routers' web browser accessible settings at 192.168.1.1.. I'm still looking into this.
Good luck!

OS9 - Comcast dhcp modem - Linksys Router

I have been running both DSL(OS9) and Cable modems(OSX) for several months. Now it's time for SBC to go - I have about 10 reasons why, which I won't bore you with. One reason is speed. DSL=200K ($50), and Cable=an unbelievable 15M ($42).
I have just set up a Linksys 4-port Ethernet router with a Comcast Scientific Atlanta cable modem. Two computers are connected - a Compac PC on Port1(W2000), and a digital audio G4 on Port2(OS 10.3.9). Works great - was surprisingly easy!
BUT, I also want to boot from a second drive in the G4 running OS 9.2, due to various OS9 applications I love, that have no OSX counterpart. But I can't get it to work. (Was using DSL for OS9.)
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to configure my OS9 system properly, to get it to work with the Linksys router.
Thank you very much for your time.
Digital Audio G4 Mac OS 9.2.x

Hi Vaughn:
I was surprised the dhcp setting that Don suggested did not resolve your issue.
I have OS X and OS 9 computers running on a home network connected through a D-Link router which is connected to Comcast's Motorola Cable Modem. A similar set-up to what you describe. (BTW, I don't think Comcast would not talk to you because you don't use their router, my third party router hasn't been an issue when I've called Comcast) Also, I'm in NJ, Comcast doesn't require a Client ID or number here, but I don't know if that holds true everywhere.
Unless you recall specifically requesting a Static IP when you started with Comcast, I'm pretty sure you have Dynamically assigned IP, which as Don suggested, requires you simply set the panel as Using DHCP Server and your IP is assigned.
A clue may lie with what your successful OS X settings are: take a look at your Network Preferences in OS X, these should be the same on your OS 9 TCP/IP control panel set-up (I'm assuming you are booting up in 9, not running Classic within X)
I don't have a definitive solution, but some things I'd look at in OS 9:
TCP/IP Control Panel
Switch to Advanced User Mode (I think that's under one of the menus, don't have 9 handy right now to check, sorry) - it's more configurable that way, and make sure you have the TCP/IP Always On option checked off, button is on bottom right, brings up dialog.
I would also make sure you have Appletalk enabled in the Appletalk control panel and that you are connected via Ethernet there too.
Do you have more than one ethernet card? Perhaps in the drop down you are selecting a card that is not connected? If it is a third party ethernet card, is the driver loaded/enabled in extensions?
When in OS 9, can you see your other computers on your network in the Chooser? That may point to an ethernet issue in OS 9. In your browser, can you type in the address of your router and see that? How about the modem itself - try http-//192.168.100.1
I'm out of ideas for now, please write back with experience. As a last resort I'd give Comcast a call rather than pay for a technician, they don't even have to know it's a third party router. Good luck.

DSL Modem to Router to Airport Express ??

I am trying to setup a network at home. I recently bought a D-Link DI-604 wired router to plug into my DSL modem so I could connect my eMac with an ethernet cable and my MacBook Pro with Airport Express. I have it setup so the DSL modem is connected to the D-Link router and then their are two cables running from the router. One is going to the emac directly and the other is going to the Airport express.
If I don't use the router then I have no problems surfing the net with the DSL modem to Airport Express on my MacBook Pro. The problem I'm having is when I split the connection with the D-Link router. After running the connection wizard built into the router, I can surf the net on both computers temporarily but when I turn both computers off and then back on again a few hours later I've lost the net connection and I have to reboot the router and run the wizard again.
I didn't do much research before I set this up because I assumed it wouldn't be a problem. However, now I'm beginning to suspect that connecting a router (DLink) to another router (Airport Express) might be the problem.
If anyone can address this issue I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
MacBook Pro 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hey there Other Tim,
Welcome to the forums!
I'd recommend setting up the D-Link router with only the eMac connected. Once it's up and running, join the Airport express to it. I would recommend resetting the AEX:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
Once you've got it going, go into Airport admin in the Utilities folder, click configure, and disable "Distribute IP addresses" under the Network tab.
I'm pretty sure that will work.

BTMM - DSL modem or router issue?

Having read many and sundry posts and support articles about BTMM, I am to the point of wondering what will work.
Posts and support articles say the routers must support UPnP or NAT-PMP and the "Third-party router devices that work with Back to My Mac" list, which seems to be getting smaller rather than larger, list routers and only mentions modem in one footnote.
So does the router or DSL modem need to support UPnP or NAT-PMP?
Are any of the routers mentioned on the list also DSL modems?
Dose anyone have a DSL Router/Modem that is working?
Thanks

Greetings,
I use BTMM all the time with Airport Extreme Base Stations and a couple of different model Netgear devices at other locations, so it's AEBS to AEBS, AEBS to Netgear, and Netgear to AEBS - I also use it to connect to and from Aruba and Cisco equipment.
I use the UPnP and NAT-PMP built in services for the most part, but in the corporate stuff, I had to create a rule and map it out on the Corporate Checkpoint Firewall and on the Cisco Corporate Routers.
I like the little home/small business routers, as UPnP and NAT-PMP make as easy as it could ever be.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

DSL Modem to Router conversion - impact on AEBS?

Hi
I have a DSL modem and AEBS/AE wireless network behind it to connect a PB, Windows laptop and ClarkConnect (CC) Linux computer.
To allow http://ipaddress:81 access to the CC computer from outside and within the network, I want to convert te modem to a router.
Will this affect the AEBS/AE wireless network?
Thanks, Michael.

It appears as if you have your Airport Express already configured as a router. If you purchase another one, it would be necessary to change the configuration of the AE, by removing the checkmark where it says "distribute IP addresses"
I hope this helps!

Trouble using Airport Express Base Station with DSL modem, Router and Hub

About 18 months ago, I had an Airport (802.11b) with WAN & LAN ports and modem hooked up to support two laptops, a Titanium Powerbook G4/600 and G3/400. The setup went from DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to Airport -> Hub (which had desktop and ethernet laser printer plugged in). The network worked fine.
Then, I got a G4 iBook to replace G3/400. Wanted to get 802.11g to support “g” Airport card in iBook. Got a Linksys 802.11g Wi-Fi with 4-port router for $50. Hooked it up directly with DSL modem. (Couldn’t get it to send out to hub). Hooked the desktop and ethernet laser printer into Linksys Wi-Fi/router. The only way I could use the printer was by having it be a shared printer from the desktop. This was often problematic.
Two months ago, I got a refurbished Airport Extreme Base Station. I can’t get the AEBS to interface directly with the DSL modem, so I hooked it up as follows:
DSL modem -> Linksys router -> to AEBS -> Hub. I plugged my Epson 820 (USB) into the AEBS and can see it to print to.
I have a static IP. That info is entered into Linksys router. Router set as Gateway, with DHCP enabled. AEBS is set to Connect using Ethernet, Configure using DHCP. Network setting: Distribute IP Addresses is unchecked.
Here’s my issue:
I can’t see the ethernet laser printer. It will occasionally flash available, but is gone in less than a minute. The printer is HP 2100 series.
Sometimes I can connect to the desktop G4 tower; most times I can’t.
I have checked and double-checked the cables.
Both the printer and desktop are connected to the Hub.
What can I do so that I can see the HP 2100 series printer and the G4 tower?

Don,
Thanks for the suggestions. Glutton for punishment that I am, I tried this again, “just for grins.“ The six other times I tried this, I couldn’t get the AEBS to “see” the Internet. And lo, this time it worked. Here’s the setup now:
DSL modem -> AEBS -> 4-port hub (which is connected to G4 tower and HP 2100 Ethernet printer). My USB Epson is connected to the AEBS, and I can print from the laptops. AEBS is set up: manual IP info, Network: distribute IP address; share a single IP using DHCP.
When I still couldn’t see the desktop G4 and the Ethernet HP 2100 connected via the hub (not), I got a flash. I had swapped out the cable a number of times to no avail. Then I realized, the hub is old and all the cables I was using are the new CAT5s. I dug out an old four-wire with RJ45 connectors that my husband made years ago (probably a cross-over cable). It was quite an effort as the cable is 30 ft. long and wrapped around the perimeter of the office behind desks and file cabinets, entwined with all the other wires. But I plugged it in and, Shazam! I am WORKING!
And, Don, thanks to you, I have eliminated the router from my gaggle of electronic boxes.

WRT54G & Westell DSL Modem/Router

I want to use the WRT54G as a WAP or signal repeater to extend the range of my Westell 327W DSL modem/wireless router. Is there a way to do that? I'd like to put it halfway between my wireless router and another wireless computer in my house.
Message Edited by rweintra on 08-08-2007 05:13 AM

That router can not be used as a repeater. You can turn it into a wireless access point but it will not repeat the signal from another wireless router with the linksys firmware. You can try to look for a third party firmware that may give you that option but if you do install a third party firmware it will void any warrenty you have on that router.
Check this LINK for other firmware.

IMac 350 MHz 10.3.9 DSL/Linksys router

History:
iMac connected fine with my comcast cable modem/linksys router wired.
10.3.9 iMac 350 MHz
When I brought it to my Brothers house (he has DSL and a linksys wired router) it won't connect with either DHCP or PPoe ...
HELP!

DSL supplied by AT&T (SBC) or Verizon can have a router attached to the modem. It is my understanding that is true of most DSL suppliers.
The purpose of the router is to channel the demands of multiple computers at the customer end in an orderly manner into the DSL service (that allows only one connection at a time at the supplier end) so that the demand on the DSL supplier is the equivalent of a single computer. I believe some DSL suppliers allow more than one connection to their line, but I have not personally verified that.
I believe the suppliers' rules for cable service may be more restrictive than for DSL service, as additional connections degrades cable service, but not DSL service.

Linksys Router not loading some pages

I was using the internet on my new IMAC and it was running great. Very fast. I have now added Vonage to the mix and installed a Linksys BEFSX41 router to the fold and have my mac connecting using DHCP and the router logs into my server using PPPoE. Problem is, without the router in place and the mac logging onto the internet I can connect to ALL websites very quickly. With the router in place I can get to some websites but a lot of them Hang and don't load anything until Safari or Firefox time out. I have unplugged the Ethernet cable from the Router during the stall and it quickly tells me that the internet connection was lost so I know that my mac is sensing the internet. I have also removed the modem wire from the router and plugged the Speedstream modem directly into the mac AGAIN (going back to the original settings) and those same sites that lag, load very quickly. What do you think that the problem is?? I've been working on this for days now with no fix. If I lose the router then I lose my Vonage telephone. Info : Running an Imac 20" new last month, Speedstream DSL high speed modem, Linksys BEFSX41 router and a Linksys PAP2 Phone adapter.
Imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) using speedstream DSL Modem, Linksys BEFSX41 Router, Linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter, Running Safari and Firefox with same results. BEFSX41 router has firewall and VPN Endswitch (Which I have no clue what that is or does)
Imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) using speedstream DSL Modem, Linksys BEFSX41 Router, Linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter
Although this is a long message some examples are: Vonage website vonage.ca won't load at all. went to my scotiabank website and get the main page but when I click to take me to the login page that page won't load. There have been many others also. Linksys website I cannot get to the forums page but I can get to their easy answer page but their answers don't resolve my issues. I have not contacted them yet as I have read that they don't seem to want to support Mac users. (this may be untrue but I thought that I would try here first)
Thank you all who try to help me in advance.

The way you word this sounds to me like the linksys came with the vonage package. If so, they would probably be the best ones to contact for support.
Aside from that, the first thing I would check is the version of firmware you have. Is it up to date? This is the most current version I believe v1.52.10 if I read the website correctly.
Oh and make sure you check on your router first to see what version of the router you have. I see like 4 or 5 different versions listed ... ie ... befsr41 v1, v2, v3, v4, and v4.1. Get the right version of the product first before you download the firware update.

Multiple dsl modems on dsl line?

I'm new to doing networking stuff. I just got dsl service, too. At the moment I have three basic questions:
1. I have a "2wire Gateway" dsl modem/wireless router, which connects to the phone jack and successfully provides internet access. However,I also have an older dsl modem only. Can I connect this modem to another phone jack and get internet access at that jack station, too, or must there be only one dsl "incoming" connection?
2. Would this second modem have to have a "driver" of sorts, that is, will the existing Networking Preference panel on Tiger take care of the connection protocols, or would the modem need its own? (I got the dsl and lan lights to light up, but the internet light didn't.)
3. Is it possible to have the 2wireGateway send its signal to my Airport Exteme Base Station (the spaceship b/g model) to extend the range of the wireless signal?

Can I connect this modem to another phone jack and get internet access at that jack station, too, or must there be only one dsl "incoming" connection?
This question is something you probably should ask your ISP.
2. Would this second modem have to have a "driver" of sorts...
Why? If it were the only modem connected to the DSL line it wouldn't need a driver.
3. Is it possible to have the 2wireGateway send its signal to my Airport Exteme Base Station (the spaceship b/g model) to extend the range of the wireless signal?
Not wirelessly.

Can't connect LINKSYS router to DSL modem

I'm trying to set up a WRT54GS2 Linksys router with a D-Link DSL-2320b modem. Have a Westell 6100 modem that is going bad, so I bought the D-Link to replace it. Originally had a D-Link router connected with the Westell, but the router overheats often and has to be reset.
I have been able to connect to the internet using the DSL-2320b modem only, but once I add the Linksys router I am not able to connect to the modem. The Linksys router came from a cable modem connection for which it worked fine. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that they both use the same IP, 192.168.1.1. I have tried changing the IP of the modem, but still having issues.
Any help will greatly be appreciated. I'm still able to use my old setup to connect to the internet now, but the Westell shut down my phone line today and had to be turned off and back on. I'm hoping to be able to replace this as soon as possible. Thanks in advance...

Connect the Mode to the router on the Internet port and the computer to the router on the Ethernet port..If the IP address of the Modem is 192.168.1.x then,change the ip address of the linksys router to 192.168.2.1 and power cycle the entire network and check...

Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 Modem and Linksys router

If anyone is having a hard time getting these three to work together to get on-line, I know your pain. I've spent the better part of two days trying to get these devices to talk to each other. After hours spent trying different combinations and little to no help from Verizon and Linksys I have finally gotten my DSL up and running through my Linksys router. I post this in hopes that someone doesn't spin their wheels like I have been doing over the past few days. Here's what I did to get them to work:
1. Reset both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
2. Unplug the router and the modem
3. Connect an ethernet cable from your Apple to the Westell modem and power it back on
4. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser of choice. The username should be "admin" (w/o the quotes) and password should be "password" (again no quotes)
5. It will ask you to update your username and password
6. Under the CONFIGURATION heading select VC CONFIGURATION and click on EDIT
7. Make sure that both PROTOCOL and MODE are set to BRIDGE
8. Click on SET VC and then click OK when asked if you want to reset for new configuration to take affect
9. Once again power off the modem for about a minute then power it back up
10. Login again with the login you created above and go to the STATUS/ABOUT column and write down the MAC address
11. Set it to DHCP OFF and change the Private Lan Modem IP to 192.168.2.1. Write this down and keep it so you can access your modem in the future.
12. Save the settings. You will lose communication with the Westell at this point. Once again, power down the modem for about a minute.
13. Connect the ethernet cable from the modem into the Internet port on the Linksys router and then connect your Apple to the first ethernet spot
14. Turn on both the Linksys router and the Westell modem
15. With your browser (Safari or Firefox) type in 192.168.1.1. Under SETUP go to MAC ADDRESS CLONE and enter the MAC address you wrote down for your Westell modem earlier and then save the settings
16. Make sure you are in DHCP mode and not PPPoE
17. Save, exit, and you should be on-line
That was a lot more difficult than it had to be. I certainly didn't get this from the support folks from Linksys or Verizon...a lot of trial and error and investigating on-line. I hope this saves you from the headaches I experienced.

Feedback for Linksys:
In the Linksys Help system "Easy Answers" there's the question "How can I set up a Linksys router with DSL Internet?" This is what I used to try and solve my Internet connection problem.
The Answer says "Most DSL providers use Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) ..." and goes on to explain how to set up the router for PPPoE. However, my service (AT&T/Yahoo high speed internet) uses DHCP. That meant I spent several frustrating hours trying to get it to work with PPPoE.
The Answer would have been better if it first explained how to tell if you have PPPoE or DHCP (see the reply from vness above, it's an excellent explanation), and then linked to the appropriate setup instructions.
Thanks for the help!!!!

Managing DSL modem (web interface) via Linksys WRT610N router.

I have a router WRT610N Version 1.0 connected to my DSL gateway (3wire). My PC is connected to WRT610N. All is working fine except: If I set Linksys Internet connection type in DHCP I am able to see my DSL modem (3wire) via web interface from my PC. But, if I set Linksys Internet connection type in PPPoE I can't connect to my DSL management web page from my PC via Linksys to DSL modem.
FYI, I need PPPoE for DDNS.
Any idea?

Correct. If you configure PPPoE the modem is inaccessible because it works like a standard modem. That's normal. With PPPoE on the WRT the WRT is connected directly to the internet and there are not really any settings on the DSL modem/router which you have to change.
