Belkin router and Talktalk modem

[kungfuturtle]

Hi there

I have a Belkin F5D7231-4 V2000 connected to a Talktalk Hauwei smartaAX
MT882. The annoying thing is i have 2 pages 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.1.1 the thing is im confused as both have different settings. the talktalk (not wireless) uses connection type PPPoA and my belkin router (wireless) uses Dynamic. It does not have PPPoA but PPPoE. When i change both to PPPoE it doesnt work. I lose the internet from time to time but it comes back after a few seconds. Also my speed should go 125 high speed mode since i use a belkin F5D7051 adapter. However my speed only goes 36mbs although something on the box says the router works at 36mbs but the actual output is 125mbs is this correct? Finally sometimes my speed goes higher than this (48 to 56mbs normal speed) but i believe this is because my sister uses a network card that doesnt support 125 high speed mode. Does this mean it switches to normal speed? Finally im using vista.

Basically wondering how to configure router and modem correct!

Thanks for any help!

I'd probably consider trying to configure the MT882 in bridge mode to remove it's routing capability and just configure the Belkin for the PPPoE connection. This is cleaner than having two routers in the mix.

As far as the wireless speeds, any time an incompatible card connects using 802.11g without the "turbo" mode, you are limited to that speed for all connections.

I can set tje MT882 to pure bridge, Bridged +DHCP or Bridged +static IP. which is the one I want?

Thanks

You probably want the pure bridged mode, that's the one I'd try first. You don't want DHCP from the modem, but rather from the ISP directly.
