| 1360181 | 2013-11-21 20:19:00 | @wainuitech Where's this "limit of 23 devices" coming from? They still get 254 usable IP's in a /24, so that's 253 if you exclude one for the gateway. The Cisco router is a wireless AP only, so it's going to have its WAN going into the LAN of the Orcon Genius router. The Genius router will be on 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 Lets say the Cisco is then on 192.168.1.100 for its WAN, that's the IP that the Genius gave it via DHCP, this means if the LAN is on 192.168.1.0/24 then *nothing* will work because it'll be trying to route all traffic to 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 (Which ever the Genius is on) out its LAN ports and not its WAN port. @johnnz Don't give up, it's not the end of the world. I'll check back here during the day regularly, so if you respond quickly we'll get it sussed in no time. Subscribe to this thread for email alerts. So if you've changed your local IP address on your Cisco router, then what IP address does it now give your PC? What is the WAN IP address that the Cisco DD-WRT router is currently on? |

| 1360182 | 2013-11-21 20:34:00 | Hi again, thanks for the help. Actually I dont have a genius router. I just have the Dynalink modem plugged into the phone jack and the Cisco E2000 DD-WRT router that connects via wireless or cable to devices. The modem definitely has internet but isn't getting it through the E2000. Previously I have been using a Dlink combination modem/router. If you scroll down the page of this link: www.connectedhome.infopint.com in the first screen shot you will see the options I have in the setup screen. The numbers are the same on my router by default. Perhaps you can see what has to be what to make things work if you have a look? Thanks again. |

| 1360183 | 2013-11-21 20:58:00 | Yeah that's why it's not working if the LAN is set to that. Doesn't matter it's the Dynalink vs Genius, they both default to an IP on the same range, which is what our issue is here compared to the IP of your DD-WRT router. The WAN on your DD-WRT must be DHCP The LAN on your DD-WRT, set this to 192.168.123.1, subnet of 255.255.255.0, leave the gateway blank, set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Just in case, for now, may as well). Then don't forget to go in and check your DHCP settings on the DD-WRT router, make sure it's giving out IP's in the 192.168.123.100-200 sorta range (100 IP's via DHCP should be ample for now, for simplicities sake). Then once you've done that, you'll likely need to restart your PC to get the new IP. You *can* do it without rebooting, but I won't bore you with details, rebooting your PC is easiest. Good luck! |

| 1360184 | 2013-11-21 23:59:00 | @ Chil, Where you wrote "192.168.1.0/24" Took it limited to 23, with one being the router. Eg: 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.24. Hope it gets working OK, Theres a lot to be said for all in one ADSL - Modem/Router combined, far less hassle, and one less thing to go wrong :) If a person has cable then those routers are a piece of cake to setup. |

| 1360186 | 2013-11-22 00:39:00 | Yeah for all intents and purposes, this *is* the same as "cable", just that the IP address of the WAN side for it *cannot* be anything in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet which is the most common one for routers :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1360187 | 2013-11-22 01:31:00 | Give me a all in one device any day for ADSL -- Much less hassle ;) Separate units, some simply dont want to play nice with one another even though the settings are right. Cable (Telstra for example) easy, as most are on a static IP from the ISP, simply put in the Address, DNS server of choice into the router, plug in the modem and away you go :) The new Cisco Modem Telstra/vodafone provided works much better than the older Motorola, now if my Old router could only keep up :D Got a new gigabit router in the box right here - job for this weekend when I have 5 minutes. |

| 1360188 | 2013-11-22 01:49:00 | It's the same for setting up an additional device like Gargoyle / DD-WRT.... Except instead of modifying the WAN, you modify the LAN. Same deal ;) And I'm yet to see one that "doesn't play nice" together. It either works or it doesn't :P |

| 1360189 | 2013-11-22 02:06:00 | And I'm yet to see one that "doesn't play nice" together. It either works or it doesn't :P Had one early this year, the person had a single port ADSL modem (like the one mentioned in this thread, different brand - old Xtra) wouldn't play nice together with the new Router that had gotten, put in a different Router as a loaner (I had one in the car) and away it went, both routers had the exact same settings. Brought the persons router here, set it up on my cable connection worked perfectly, we came to an arrangement, and did a swap for a ADSL Modem/Router, and I got their original Router. No idea why it didn't work at their place?? Unless Johnnz isn't able to try the suggestions made by yourself (Yet) something's not right. :( |
