1354954	2013-10-04 00:35:00	So, I can't connect EA3500 directly to the ONT but to the TG587N. I can't figure out how to change the default gateway (IP address) of this TG587n to something which works with my Linksys AP. I don't think that it will work without changing the IP of either one of them as they have the same subnet: Linksys: 192.168.1.1 TG587n: 192.168.1.254 It will be great if I can change the TG587n rather than my Linksys as all my devices are connected to it which will reduce disruptions to all other users in this home network. My Home Network is now working perfectly. Anyone here has done this?	bk T (215)
1354955	2013-10-04 00:54:00	Change the TG587n to something like 192.168.2.1 then, and change the WAN of the Linksys to 192.168.2.2 Your LAN must be on a different IP range from the WAN or it'll go nuts :p	Chilling_Silence (9)
1354956	2013-10-04 01:21:00	My present home network: Vigor 120: 192.168.2.1 Linksys AP: 192.168.1.1 all my devices are connected to the Linksys AP. Everything works fine as it should. I couldn't find how to configure (change) the TG587n to 192.168.2.1	bk T (215)
1354957	2013-10-04 01:27:00	I couldn't find how to configure (change) the TG587n to 192.168.2.1 It's a common problem. They're awful routers with an absolutely horrible WebUI. But yeah set the TG587n to the same IP as your DV120 and when you pull the DV120 out, just plug the TG587n in, in-place of it.	Chilling_Silence (9)
1354958	2013-10-04 08:43:00	Managed to change the IP to 192.168.2.1 using the instructions for the old SpeedTouch modem given to me by one of the Telecom's Helpdesk guy long, long time ago, and it seems to work with this new model, too. Am I right to say that, theorectically, if I were to connect one end of the Ethernet cable to anyone of the 4 Ethernet ports of the TG587n and the other end to the 'Internet' Port of my Linksys AP, it should work OK. right? Of course, I have to disable the WLAN, or else, I will have two wireless access points. BTW, will this cause any undesirable interferences?	bk T (215)
1354959	2013-10-04 09:42:00	Yeah that's fine. Disable the WiFi on the TG587 and just use the Wireless on the Cisco so that all your devices are on the same "network".	Chilling_Silence (9)
1354960	2013-10-04 10:27:00	The only problem with the proposed setup in my opinion is double NAT, which can be a real PITA. We have a similar setup (with different brand devices) here, where the wireless router (in your case the EA3500) has Routing, NAT and DHCP server all disabled. It then acts as a simple switch and wireless AP that can be plugged into the TG587n via one of the LAN ports (not the WAN port).	Sherman (9181)

My present setup, EA3500(wireless AP) -> Vigor120(ADSL modem) have NAT & HDCP all enabled; have been using it for almost a year now without any issues. I don't understand the advantage of turning OFF the NAT and DHCP of your wireless AP rather than the modem (are you using TG587n as well)? Just for my interest, are you having Fibre, and using the TG587n (supplied by ISP), and what wireless router are you having(if you don't mind sharing)?	bk T (215)

Just for my interest, are you having Fibre, and using the TG587n (supplied by ISP), and what wireless router are you having(if you don't mind sharing)? We're still on ADSL2+, although fibre is available and we hope to go for it soon. Current setup is a Cisco SRP527W (wireless/modem/router) with wireless disabled, but NAT, DHCP enabled. Connected to that is a TP-Link WDR4300 wireless router which is currently running Gargoyle. It has NAT and DHCP disabled. I give it a static IP address on the same network as the Cisco, and all clients are given an IP address by the Cisco router. Having said that. In the basement, we also have a D-Link DIR-615 running Gargoyle. This connects as a wireless client to the TP-Link, so that there is somewhat reliable internet access down there as well. The D-Link is acting as a router, and so clients plugged into it receive an IP address on a different network.	Sherman (9181)
