Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router w/ DSL Modem on Verizon

Before I spend any money, can anyone advise if Verizon DSL is supported with the Netgear Wireless-N 300 Router w/ DSL Modem?

Well, answered my own question. Went ahead and got one. Only had to clone the MAC address from the Westell due to the screwed up DHCP scope that is used. Works like a champ.

    Has anybody ever tried this router/modem combination? I'm thinking about buying one but was just wondering if anyone has an opinion? Thank you!

    Thanks.
    Well when you first get ready to connect that new router to your ISP modem, turn off the modem for at least 5 minutes. First power on you router then connect the port from the modem to the WAN (Wide Area Network) port of the router. At this point connect to the router via Ethernet and log into that router (look into the router's manual how to do that) and make sure it's getting an IP from the ISP modem. After you confirmed the router gets an IP from the modem then at this point you can setup the wireless & security. Just make sure all your devices that use wireless can use security and the highest use the highest security all those devices can use.
    Lastly try to connect to the router's wireless network (while still connected via Ethernet so you can check the router to make sure it sees the your Mac). If it does then you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and then the wireless (Airport card) should take over the connection.

  • Best Router with DSL Modem for use with AT&T DSL and Airport Express?

    I recently had my old 2WIRE from AT&T DSL service die, so purchased a new 2WIRE 2701HG-B. My old 2WIRE worked with my Airport Express, which is hooked up to my DVR for DirecTV use. The new 2WIRE apparently is not compatible with the Airport Express, so I returned it and purchased a NetGear Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL modem. While this one does work with the Airport Express setup, it runs very slow. This router has mediocre reviews, so I'd like to find a better one.
    I'd appreciate any suggestions for a Router w Modem that would work best with my AT&T DSL and Airport Express (802.11n) within the $100 - $150 price range. Thanks!

    Configure the Express as a bridge: Connect via "Ethernet", and set Connection Sharing to "off (bridge mode)".
    The switches ought not to be a problem, and I don't know why your router froze. The Express is simply another wired client, just like a computer might be.
    do I turn off DHCP on the router,
    No. Something has to provide routing functions so leave the Linksys alone.

  • AirportExtreme as wireless router through DSL modem on PC - not working.

    Hello all. I've searched through several forums trying to find something could answer my question, but nothing came of it. Hopefully you can help,
    Our family has just recently purchased 2 new macbooks (love 'em!) and have been able to join our wirless network (linksys wireless-g 2.4ghz). A few days ago, we purchased the AEBS to replace the Linksys, however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make it work. The PC run windows XPSP2, using a basic DSL modem. I've tried various methods of connecting the AEBS to my computer/modem.
    now, I read through the instructions to see that my PC must have a wireless card?
    Am I correct in assuming that the DSL modem and the AEBS work together to put out a wireless signal, and from that, my PC uses this wireless card to connect to that?
    I've tried doing a direct connection with my DSL modem and AEBS, where nothing is actually plugged into the computer. I use a USB wireless donlge thingy and it connects to the network hunky dory. However...no internet. The setup utility for the AEBS does everything all shiny but I am still not able to connect through my PC, or my macbooks. the MB's see the network, but no actual internet.
    Is there a way to directly connec the AEBS to my computer and modem without a wireless card for my PC?
    Thank you SO much everyones time!
    A mac newbie and wireless newbie,

    In that case I would configure your network as follows.
    DSL Modem -> WAN port of Airport Extreme Base Station
    LAN Port of Airport Extreme Base Station -> Windows PC
    The two MacBook Pros would join the network wirelessly.

  • Setting up Time Capsule as router with DSL Modem as bridge

    Hi All,
    I want to work this out in my head before I start disconnecting wires. So let me run down what the situation and plan is. If you see a potential issue, I would appreciate the feedback.
    What I have:
    Verizon DSL. The DSL modem is also doing duty as the router. For a lot of reasons I don't need to get into here, I no longer want the DSL modem to be the router. I have gotten instructions on how to setup the DSL modem to serve ONLY as a bridge. In that configuration, you simply connect the DSL modem to the phone line as usual, then connect your router to one of the ethernet ports. My time capsule has been serving only as a wireless access and backup drive until now. So here is what I plan to do:
    1) Connect via ethernet cable, the WAN port on the TC to the ethernet port on the DSL modem.
    2) Using the manual setup screen on the TC, select the "Internet" tab.
    3) Set "Connect Using" to "Ethernet"
    4) Set "Connection Sharing" to "Share a public address"
    5) TCP/IP set to "Using DHCP"
    At this point, everything should work. At least I think it should. Am I missing something?
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks,
    R

    I haven't worked with the Verizon gateways, but configuring the device as a simple bridge might require that the Time Capsule be setup to furnish the PPPoE service. You won't know until you try.
    If you are not able to "Connect Using - Ethernet", then that would be an indication that you would need to instead "Connect Using - PPPoE". In this case, you'll need to enter your user name and password that you have established with the service provider in the Time Capsule setup configuration. Be sure to leave the Service Name area completely blank if you setup using PPPoE.
    If you are able to "Connect Using - Ethernet" and you configure the Time Capsule to "Share a public IP address", you may see a warning during setup that this is producing what is known as a Double NAT on your network. This is normally not too serious, unless you are trying to setup online gaming, which requires a different type of NAT setting.

  • Link an 871 router/switch wirelessly to an ISP-provided DSL modem//router?

    Hi, Upstairs we have a 20-Mbps ISP-provided DSL wireless modem/router, and one floor lower, in basement, I would like to install a refurbished 871 Cisco router, without adding a separate Internet connection. I would like the 871 to connect wirelessly to the DSL router.  To the 871 I would wirelessly connect 2 workstations, one of which will host 3-4 virtual machines. The 2 main reasons for this weird arrangement are so my virtual machines and virtual switch do not interfere with upstairs devices connected to the DSL router, and so I can practice Cisco router//switch configuration downstairs where I reside, without added expense of a separate Internet connection.   Would I need a separate repeater between the two routers?   Humbly requesting any other feedback. 
    Jeff

    To have all routers using the same Network Name and wireless password, you would have to configure them for a roaming network. This would require that the Extreme and Express connect individually back to the Pirelli router via an Ethernet connection.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Connecting a WRT54G Wireless Broadband Router to a Westell DSL Modem

    For some reason I can't get my wireless router to finalize the last step on installation on my desktop. I followed all the tutorials from the linksys help center and I still can't get the router to install correctly. I did ipconfig/release and ipconfig/renew. I made sure the IP address was in the 169.xxxxx range. Changed the default IP on the web based utility from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1  . When I changed all of the info mentioned before I could get internet service to my base computer, but I could not get passed the last step of installing the router and no wireless to any laptops. I have done everything by the book and it still doesn't work. If there is anyone that could help me, I would really appreciate it. I have DSL Internet service throught AT&T. My router is a WRT54G and my DSL Modem is a Westell Modem, Its black square shaped with five lights on the front.

  • Westell ProLine 6100 DSL modem with generic wireless router

    I am planning to purchase the Starter Verizon high speed internet plan.  It comes with a free Westell ProLine 6100/6110 DSL modem.  The combined modem and wireless router is $55.  I have a wireless router (Linksys and Cisco).  Can I use the Linksys or Cisco wireless router with the Westell ProLine DSL modem, or will I have compatibility problems?  Thanks.

    Otherwise, you will...
    #1 NOT be able to go anywhere online because of Double NAT.
    #2 Or if you can go some where online then..
    ..For example: If you want to allow users from the net to connect to your computer, you can't just portforward in your generic wireless router. You must also portforward in the Westell 6100. (Called Double NAT Forwarding)

  • DSL modem and Wireless G router not connecting.

    Alright this one is weird for me. Two days ago I got a Wireless-G CISCO router. Or a WRT54G2 V 1.5 model. Now I set it up on my XP desktop and at first it seemed fine. I tried to get onto the internet and it wouldn't go. Then I tried to connect my laptop to the router and it succeeded, but the router couldn't connect to the internet.
    After calling tec they told me that I need to fully bridge my modem. I'll list the specs down there later. Anyway I wen't back to my laptop, which has windows 7, and checked the router but it has a red X to the SSID and says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network." And the other SSID's around me are fine. Let's not worry about my laptop though. Back to the desktop I learned that for whatever reason my address is 192.168.2.1 and that my modem needs to be fully bridged.
    I got the internet to work, but it keeps cutting out. The problem is that the IP adress goes from 192. bla bla to 99. bla bla. It would do this every time I re-cycled the router. It would start at the 192. and give me perfect internet. Then it would switch IP after 30 secounds and go to the 99. which I couldn't do anything online. So do I have to bridge?

    Oh and would there be a chance the router and modem are all together not compatible?
    Thanks 

  • Can Westell 327W DSL modem/router receive wireless signal?

    I have a spare Westell 327W wired/wireless DSL modem/router. I need a wireless access point for a G4 Power Mac away from an Apple Extreme. I knew how to make the Westell 327W in a bridge mode. Is there a way to make 327W communicate wirelessly with a FIOs modem/router?
    Thank you very much.

    Hmmm, perhaps something like this with a USB extension cord would be a solution, they have better Range even without an extension than Airport cards ime...

  • AT&T DSL Modem compatible with Airport wireless router?

    I recently switched from cable internet to at&t DSL. I connected the DSL modem directly to the computer and followed all instructions for set up (per instruction from AT&T). Now I need to connect the DSL modem directly to the airport router to get wireless, but when I do this the computer doesn't recognize any internet source. What do I need to change to make this work?
    Thanks in advance!

    "ATT tech support helped as I got it set up in BRIDGE mode so my Apple Time Capsule could be the router."
    It sounds like you set the Time Capsule up in Bridge Mode, which would mean that the 2wire was doing the routing, not the Time Capsule.
    To verify, open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup and click on the Internet icon. Check Connection Sharing at the bottom to see how your Time Capsule is configured.
    I don't have a dual band Time Capsule, so I can't give you a good answer about whether using the TC in bridge mode would cause problems setting up the second "guest" network.
    Since each network would require an IP address and the 2wire is assigning them, there might be an issue there. This would really be a question for Apple support or perhaps another user has configured their system this way and can provide some input.

  • CHANGING IP ADDRESS OF A LAPTOP AFTER CHANGING IP ADDRESS OF WIRELESS ROUTER CONNECTED TO DSL MODEM

    DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE TO CHANGE THE IP ADDRESS OF THE LAPTOP CONNECTED WIRELESS AFTER CHANGING THE WIRELESS  ROUTER'S IP ADDRESS TO 192.168,2,1 BECAUSE DSL MODEM USES 192.168.1.1, THE WIRELESS ROUTER IS IN A DIFFERENT SUBNET FROM THE DSL MODEM

    Your laptop will find the correct IP address automatically.

  • DSL Modem and Wireless Router problems

    I started to have problems on Tuesday. 
    My Equipment is:
    Dell Precision 870 PC with a Intel Pro network card
    Apple IMAC with the Apple Lan connection
    Lynksys/Cisco E3000 (Problem started with a Linksys WRT610N router)
    Verizon (Actiontec) GT701C DSL modem
    I came down to my office and I noticed that the DSL light on my modem was not lit.  In the past
    this has ment that there is a problem in the Central Office.  Later in the day I got hold of Verizon
    tech support and we got the DSL running again with the modem connected to either computer.
    When I connect the router to the modem and the computers to the router, Dell via wire and Apple
    via wireless 5.0 GHz 802.11N inout and restart both the router and the modem, I get connectivity
    through the router and the modem but the DSL light on the modem is not lit.  After a long period
    of time the DSL light may come on then I loose connectivity. 
    Everything was working correctly til late Monday night/early Tuesday morning.
    I have reset both the modem and routers to factory defaults several time.  I have a problem when
    trying to get connectivity with the moden after setting it up again and it takes me to the Verizon
    DSL startup site.  Tech support walked me throuogh using the "192.168.1.1/verizon/redirect" and
    shutting the redirect off.  I then have connectivity as long as the router is not connected.
    I thoought the router went so I just installed a new router, the Linksys/Cisco E3000, and I still
    have the DSL light problem. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Having both routers the same IP address is a little bit confusing, but possible since each router creates it's own subnet and provides full PNAT support. Actiontec DSL modem has to have DHCP enabled since Linksys WAN (not LAN) port should be connected to one of 4 Actiontec LAN ports. Linksys should not have any configuration setup in regards of your WAN account. Just set it to dynamic address. In ohter words:
    1. RJ-11 connect to Actiontec mode/router.
    2. Actiontec modem should be configured to acquire an IP address from Verizon and to provide all authentication info to Verizon.
    3. Actiontec modem should be configured to allow clients to acquire dynamic IP addresses -- DHCP enabled.
    4. Linsys WAN (not LAN!) port should be connected to Actiontec LAN port.
    5. Linksys should be configured to acquire dynamic IP address and no authentifacations.
    6. Configure Linksys to be DHCP enabled or you can use static IP addresss if you want.
    7. Wireless devices would be connected to Linksys and on the way to the Internet addresses would go through double NAT conversions. Any wired device connected to Linksys would have similar  features. Any device connected to Linksys should be able to connect 192.168.1.1 assigned to Linksys, but not to Actiontec.
    8. To be able to connect Linksys and Actiontec would no be able to communicate unless you split 192.168.1.0/24 into smaller subnets and set specific routes in the table. But even you do so you will not be able to access 192.168.1.1 accross subnets boundary.
    Hope it helps.
