Using BT HH3 as adsl2+ modem with ASUS rt-ac68u as...

I have bought an ASUS RT-AC68u router to replace my BT HH3. Unfortunately I only realised when I unboxed it that it did not support ADSL2+ connection, which is what I have in the house. Currently my connection is phone line > Filter > HH3. I would like to use the HH3 as an ADSL modem and have Phone line > Filter > HH3 > ASUS router.
My hardware is set up as follows:
ADSL cable into ADSL port on HH3
Ethernet cable from HH3 gigabit port to ASUS WAN port
I have seen other posts suggesting switching off wireless and DHCP on the HH and setting up the new router with a static IP and DNS to the HH3’s address. I have tried this and unfortunately the asus router cannot receive an internet connection.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or could try?
The posts i got the above information from are:

Please help.

but I will try this anyway for now, So should i chose my ISP as static IP on the asus router?
Skip any quick setup wizard, as its not applicable.
Use manual settings and simply disable DHCP, and change the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.15.
You will then need to access its interface at the new IP address.
I am not familiar with the ASUS, so you are going to have to read the full manual, and work out how to change the LAN settings.
Personally, I would just put it away until you get Infinity, and simply use the HH3, as you are not going to gain very much, unless you are using it as a wired wireless extender to another location in the house.

  • Any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

    any one use an Apple MA034 external modem with PowerbookG4 running Tiger?

    Not too common with G4 PowerBooks as they have an internal modem. I can't find Apple's sepcs but a third-party ad shows it minimally needs 10.4.3 or higher and a G-series processor. That should work.
    However, the Apple version is expensive used. I googled Apple MA034 external modem and found an Amazon page that showed other compatible modems that were much cheaper.

  • How do I use a Netgear CM400 cable modem with my Time Capsule router?

    I switched out my TWC modem for one I bought. I called and activated a CM400 Netgear modem with time Warner cable. They said it is activated and responding. My time capsule is on a green solid light but i can't connect to the Internet! Why??

    Your previous setup may have been a modem router and the TC is connected in the wrong mode.. it should be dhcp and nat with a pure cable modem.. is it?
    You also might need to put the TC into the correct mode.. then power off the modem for about 15min.. (try 5min first).. power up the modem.. wait 5min and then power up the TC .. it should grab the public IP and route that to the network.. reboot all the clients so they get fresh connection and see if that works.
    If not give us a few screenshots from the airport utility of how the TC is setup.

  • Using Pre Plus as a modem with laptop

    Can I use the Palm Pre Plus as a modem tethered to my laptop with VZ Access Manager software from Verizon.  I used this method before with my Blackberry Pearl ($15/mo).  I don't want to pay $40/mo to Verizon to use WiFi (Mobile hotspot) feature on Palm Pre Plus. 
    Thanks

    Hi 
    Can someone help me understand this product please? I've been a BB user till now but want to switch over to the PPP:
    1. Can it be tethered to the laptop as a modem AND work as a phone at the SAME time?
    2. What are the high speed connectivity - do they compare with a broadband at home or the 3G USB modems/sticks one uses on the laptop? If so, are there any limits to the data usage?
    3. I am paying 60 dollars a month for the USB modem AND 70 dollars a month for the unlimited WW data capability on my BB. It appears with the PPP I can get both the things done in the 29 dollar plan for US? Or maybe the 70 dollar plan for unlimited WW usage that can be used on my laptop too with high speeds? AM I correct or reading too much into it here? I am with Verizon currently. Does anyone else offer anything better that takes care of both the things - high speed internet access on my laptop AND a US/Canadian voice plan (I have it currently for USD 99.95/Mo - 1350 minutes)
    4. Is the PPP constantly connected to the internet like the BB is for instantaneous emails? And are there any limits to the enterprise activation as they are on the BB of one only?
    5. Any better alternatives here from Palm?
    Many thanks folks!

  • Using Pantech 4G LTE USB Modem with Chromebook

    Got a Chromebook for Christmas, but I don't have wi-fi at home.  I do have the UML290 modem for my windows laptop.
    Can I install VRZ manager on Chromebook, and use the USB modem on it to connect to the internet?
    TIA

    No!  Chromebook uses Android OS, you will a CradlePoint MBR95 or Pepwave Surf on The Go Router to insert the UML290 and then you can use the built in wifi in the Chromebook to connect to the router and get internet access.
    You can get the gear at 3gstore

  • Is Airport Express compatible with ADSL2 modem?

    I already have an ADSL2 Modem (with both ethernet and usb cables) which was provided by the ISP. I am looking out for a router since my current Linksys router is giving problems. I am thinking of purchasing the Airport Express since it gives me the option of using my printer and ipod wirelessly as well.
    I just wanted to clarify if the modem will be compatible with the Airport Express. Also, if the Airport Express can be used as a proper wireless router for accessing the internet wirelessly through my MacBook Air.
    Can anyone help please!
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I checked on my modem setup page and PPP over Ethernet ( PPPoE ) is selected. Does the AirPort Express work with this? Also, how is the connectivity? What is the difference between G & N. Previously I had a Linksys Wireless G router. The Airport Express seems to be N router? Will that create any problems. I just want to clarify before I buy it.
    Thanks a lot for answering.

  • Can time capsule be used as ADSL2  modem

    Hi, i am just wondering can i used time capsule as ADSL2  modem, instead of the my ISP provided wifi modem kit. If i can then how, does there any specific configuration required?

    ....wondering can i used time capsule as ADSL2  modem.....
    No, since the Time Capsule does not have a modem on board. It is a router and hard drive only. 
    You will need to use the modem that your service provider has supplied with the Time Capsule.

  • Configurin​g Treo755p (Sprint) to use as "phone as a modem" service for laptop pc via Blue Tooth

    Need help with configuring a Palm Treo755p (Sprint) to be used as "phone as a modem" with my laptop pc via Blue Tooth. The two are "paired" and I can push files (documents) from PC to phone. I can also HotSync wirelessly (via Blue Tooth). I am just wanting to "loose" the cable from the phone to the laptop pc when using "phone as a modem" for internet connectivity on my laptop pc. I see that there is a "virtual com port" established, but when I launch internet explorer, it wants to dial a number. The phone has "instant-on" internet connectivity.

  • What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    I am having problems setting up airport extreme.
    What ADSL modem do you advise to use with my new airport extreme? I have tried a basic TP-Link ADSL2+  modem and I can't get the configuration working. What modem does Apple recommend?

    Ok well I have looked around some more and have found this to be the most up to date official response to my question as seen at this link here:
    http://www.actiontec.com/support/product_details.php?pid=41#q27
    Can I Bridge the Actiontec MI424WR router that Verizon provided, when I signed up for FiOS service?
    The MI424WR does not have a bridging option, and neither Verizon nor Actiontec support attempting to bridge it.
    The desire to bridge the MI424WR is based on a misunderstanding that it is a modem as well as a router. Actiontec does produce DSL Gateways that have a Transparent-Bridging option, which bypasses or disables the router function and allows the Gateway to act simply as a DSL modem, when it is enabled. Many consumers do not realize that with FiOS, the ONT (typically outside the home) is the device that handles changing the FiOS signal from Fiber to either Ethernet or Coax, and that the Router is just a Router, and if it was bridged or bypassed, it would be a device without a function. For most Verizon FiOS customers their service would completely stop if the MI424WR was bridged, because the Video on Demand service is dependent on it to work.
    If your ONT is connected to the Actiontec MI424WR router via Coax, the MI424WR is required due to the Coax connection. But if the ONT is connected to the MI424WR via Ethernet, then in most cases some other router can be substituted for the MI424WR, and it can be removed."
    So it looks like I will be calling Verizon support to see about getting the Ethernet connection installed and getting another modem...

    Hi
    Ok, so I made the change. Before I'd updated, Id got a warning message to say that setting up via PPoE would reduce my security.
    That is weird.. PPPoE is nothing to do with security.. it is a wan connection method that if required cannot be ignored or bypassed.. I see nothing there to do with security.. but your wireless might be an issue.
    Also when ever network I connect to one has the padlock symbol and the other doesnt, see attached pic. Whats that all about?
    The padlock shows security on the wifi is turned on... if there is no padlock the security is off. At least that is my understanding.. normally a padlock on means the settings are fixed .. but for wireless I think it just indicates security.

    No, since there is no modem on board an AirPort Extreme, so you will need to use an outboard modem if you want the AirPort Extreme to have Internet access.
