| 437581 | 2006-03-13 06:50:00 | iwilson, hi, glad you got it all sorted....Just wondering why you were using the d-link at all, as the linksys isalso an adsl router? I would have used the linksys only! Edit update, just had a look on linksys web site, is a bit confusing having internet isp details input to a router that doesnt actually connected itself????? So not sure if dsl modem required or not???? :annoyed: |

| 437582 | 2006-03-14 01:46:00 | The WRT54g is just a router, whereas the 302g is a modem/router. The WRT54g itself isnt capable of connecting to the internet, thats why u need the 302g. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 437583 | 2006-03-14 04:35:00 | Okay then, but why the need to enter ISP details if the modem already takes care of that, surely only the gateway IP is required! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 437584 | 2006-07-28 01:13:00 | The router should be fine, aslong as its a NZ compatiable modem. The 302g is acutually a router, so just turn off the routing functions in the WRT54gs and just use it as a switch/AP. Ive got a 302G running through a WRT54g here so i know its possible. The settings on the WRT54gs shouldnt matter all the much, as long as its not setup as a DCHP server, use the 302g to assign IP's. And just plug the 302g into one of the switch ports, its a pain to get it to work on the WAN port. If you really want it on the WAN port download the third party firmware and convert the WAN port to a normal switch port. Pete Both of your solutions are less than best. The 302G might be a router, but it's a very basic one, whereas the WRT54G, esp with decent firmware like DD-WRT is much more feature rich. A better solution is to put the 302g into half bridge mode, so that it terminates the PPP connection, but bridges everything else. The advantages are that you don't lose a LAN port, your WRT54G remains a router, and there is no double natting. |
