AG241 modem & WGT624 router!

Chumley · 11-13-2008, 03:39 PM

Hi
I have a bit of a problem!
I have a Linksys AG241 modem/router connected to the telephone point and then a Netgear WGT624 connected to the AG241.

The problem is i do get a internet connection for a while and then it goes!?
If i turn it all off and start again the same thing happens?

My ISP is FSB Telecom Broadband - whan i contacted them they told me i would have to send the modem back to them for re-configuration!!!!!!!!

I was not impressed with there after sales! - They did say to contact Linksys and i did and they gave me a configuration as it is now that works now and again!?

I am just wondering if any of you guys out there can give me a few clues as to what i am doing wrong?

My PC is a Dell The OS is XP SP3 - I have disabled all encryption at present - Connection type is hardwire ethernet (wanting to go wireless hence the router)- Internet explorer.

Regards
Chumley

Hi Again,
Can anybody out there help me?

Have i got a conflict between the Linksys and Netgear causing my prob?
Should i Put the Linksys into Bridge mode and then enter my Internet Account Details in the Netgear Router?

Regards
Chumley

If you know how to configure the Linksys in bridge mode, that would certainly be the more desirable configuration, and it may even help with the issue.

Hi
I am still having problems with a Linksys AG241 modem/router and a Netgear WGT624 Router with Wireless capabillities!?
The Linksys is set up for PPPoA and uses a Username and Password to log on to the internet once these are applied i can turn off the PC and it will log straight back on again.
This is not a problem when i have the Linksys hardwired to the PCs ethernet port, I can access the Internet with no problems!

The problem starts when I try to link in the Netgear Router to allow wireless conection to two Laptops.

I have tried many a configuration and many hours to get this to work with no joy - Could somebody please advise me?

This is the Linksys staus menu:-
