Configuring an ADSL modem router with a wireless router

foster15 · 03-26-2006, 02:29 AM

I have a D-LINK ADSL modem router (DSL-502T) that I'm currently using to connect my computer to my ISP. I also have a Netgear super G wireless router that I want to hook up so that I can access my Internet connection with my laptop as well. Can anyone help me to configure the two routers to work together?

Take your wireless router and configure the LAN IP address to something like 192.168.x.250, an address in your current subnet.
Turn off DHCP.
Connect the wireless router by a LAN (not WAN) connection to your current router.

Not sure if this will help but I have a Westell Modem and a Netgear WGR614 wireless router. The router will not work with the modem unless the modem is configured as bridged ethernet. Disabling DHCP might do the same thing. Also, my ISP is BellSouth and they use PPoE as their network protocol which might be different than yours.

Thanks, but none of this is working. I can't get the wireless router to access the internet. Will keep trying...Any insights welcome.
