Linksys Wired Router :: BEFRS81 Swapping AT&T DSL And Comcast Cable For U-verse
Nov 8, 2011
I am swapping my AT&T DSL and Comcast cable for U-verse. In the basement, I have a Netopia DSL modem connected to a Linksys BEFRS81 v. 3 ethernet Cable/DSL router/8-port switch. Cat 5 cables are attached to the router, then run throughout the house so we are "networked" to the DSL modem and use a patch cord from laptop or desktop into the wall to get to the Internet.
Is it straight forward to swap over from a wired router to a wireless one? The PC that is currently using the wired router will remain as a wired connection and some new items (laptop, PS3, Wii) will use the wireless connection. The wireless devices are already up and running in a different location and I was going to use the same router at the new location.
Comcast installed a new fiber 10M EDI internet connection in our facility the other day and found out it is our responsibility to provide a layer 3 gateway to map the internet connection to the 14 public IP addresses they assigned to us. We are using RV042 for our existing networks with a T1 we had.
Will the RV042 provide the gateway function to route the single IP address comcast provided to the 15 public IP addresses? If so , can you provide the configuration example on this process?
Comcast EDI Connection ---> ???????? ----> 14 Static External Addresses
Interconnect Block 51.235.227.60 / 255.255.255.252.Comcast Gateway is 51.235.227.61Clear Layer 3 device WAN interface: 51.235.227.62Usable IP Block 51.235.227.96/28Mask: 255.255.255.240Usable Addresses: 51.235.227.97 - 51.235.227.110
I was able to install the RV042 router to my ATT DSL line (WAN1 port-INTERNET) and it gets an external IP address automatically and the Internet works. When I connect my Comcast Internet to WAN2 port INTERNTE/DMZ) it doesn't get an IP address. and the Internet goes down and the WAN2 port ip address says 0.0.0.0.I've tried releasing/ renewing and it still says 0.0.0.0.Everything else is set as the default.
I have a need to have 2 seperate networks from my comcast cable modem.I was hoping to plug a 5 port hub into the cable modem and then plug both the wrt610n and the wrt54g into the hub. Seem that only one of the routers will get an ip assigned from Comcast.Is there a way to have one ISP cable modem and create two different home networks with the two linksys routers, thus two separate independent networks?
-Network 1: public household use and family (Jane's wireless laptop, household PC's etc).
-Network 2: private household/company use and separate from the public family network (company wireless laptop/company PC, un-secure media server).
i currently have a working WRT54G2 router and will be swapping it for a e1200 router. Should I disconnect the current router from the modem first before inserting the setup CD for the new router?
I'm trying to use a WRT54GL with U-Verse. The problem is that the router does not get a connection to the modem. It can't ping the modem, and it doesn't show up on on the list of devices connected to the modem. DHCP assigns an IP address of 127.0.0.1, which is outside the range of the modem [192.168.1.1 ... 192.168.1.253]. The router is also showing a default gateway of 0.0.0.0, and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. (And yes, I have released and renewed the lease, rebooted the modem, and reconnected the modem.) The router WAN side is set to DHCP, and the operating mode was changed from gateway to router (the gateway setting doesn't work either, for that matter).
We have Comast internet using an Arris modem and have a Netgear wireless router. We have our modem hooked up to a desktop computer that we don't even use. We have three laptops that we us with our wireless.Comcast has told us that we have to have the modem hooked up to the desktop for the internet to work.what do people do who have only a laptop and have wireless internet in their house?Is there anyway to get rid of the desktop and have the modem hooked directly to the cable and router?
I can now access my router config pages when connected to my ATT router. However, I cannot seem to access the Internet when connected to my e3000; I just time out. I also have difficulties just connecting to my e300 for some reason. I have been connected a couple of times where i could access the Internet but it was only for a few minutes and it was very slow.I can't seem to put the router in the DMZ because the ATT router will only DMZ a DHCP-enabled device and the e3000 has a static IP (192.168.1.253). I have tried running the PING and Traceroute diagnostics and both just come back with Unknown Host no matter what URL i enter. The status page also appears as if the e3000 is not properly talking to the ATT router. Under the Internet Connection area it shows Connection Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP then 0s for IP address, subnet, and gateway. the DNS entries are empty and the MTU shows 1500 and the DHCP Lease Time is also empty. i am all ears and willing to try whatever. But i just want to be able to connect to my e3000 so i can utilize the wireless n internally and connect a 2TB external drive to share. But I also want to be able to get out to the Internet when i am connected to the device.
Trying all week to get my E1200 setup as an Access Point with my AT&T U-Verse 2WIRE Modem. [code] It just never seems to work correctly. It will connect for a second or 2 and then jam up. My ultimate scenario would be to have the E1200 just act as a wireless access point and have the 2WIRE do the rest: firewall, DCHP, etc.
I've got a ASUS AC66 router plugged into my Comcast cable modem (regular dumb modem), it's running the Merlin (OEM-modified) firmware.I've got a Netgear 3400 router flashed with DD-WRT (latest build), it's a replacement for another N router that died on me.
Anyways, I went to set client bridge like always. Main router is 192.168.1.1 so I set DD-WRT router as 192.168.1.2, set the wireless modes to client bridge with matching SSIDs for my 2.4/5GHz radios, input the correct security keys on the security page (AES), then I put the router in router mode (from gateway) Basically, I followed the instructions on DD-WRT's website, which worked perfectly until the other router died.
This time around as soon as the DD-WRT router reboots with its bridge information saved it immediately causes some sort of conflict on my network and kills the internet and all network connections. All devices lose their IP address. It's like the DD-WRT router is somehow shutting down the network and my default router.
Our family has about three computers that use a wireless network that we all share. We have an old Gateway, a WCG200, that is bridged to an E2000, which was set-up ever since we required better security when someone used our connection to illegally obtain movies. We got a letter which warned us of any future violations that could cause legal action, so we looked into our wireless connection to better secure it from any other individuals outside of our household. The WCG200 is connected to the outlet in the wall via cable, and then connects from the Ethernet to the E2000. The E2000 has a stronger security setup than the WCG200, which is the advice we received from our ISP and would allow us to keep the Gateway. It provides a strong signal, but from time to time, we suffer latency or slow loading through all of our online devices, even though our connection speed displays a solid 72.0 Mbps. I've tried the Event Viewer to see any problems, and I have noticed some small things:
- WLAN AutoConfig service has successfully stopped.Wirel?
- WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped. Module Path: C:WindowsSystem32cmihvsrv64.dll
- The server {E10F6C3A-F1AE-4ADC-AA9D-2FE65525666E} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.
- Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet: The network link is down. Check to make sure the network cable is properly connected. [This last one is strange, since I use the Wireless Network Connection with a DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card, while the Broadcom adapter is under the Local Area Connection and displayed as not connected.]
Other than that, I'm not quite sure what the recurring problem comes from. Our WCG200 has a firewall enabled and our E2000 has an SPI firewall enabled. The security mode of the E2000 is a WPA2 setup. We have disabled the wireless network of our WCG200 in order to make use of the E2000.
I have a Linksys RV082 Wired router. It works great but doesn't do wireless. I have a Cisco/Linksys E2500 Wireless router for my wireless devices to use. the RV082 is on the 192.168.1.x network. The E2500 is on the network 192.168.0.x network. The Internet cable goes to the Wired RV082, and a line comes out of there to the wireless router. This all works fine except for a couple inconveniences.I have an iPad that connects wirelessly and some of the apps offer an http:// option so I can transfer files to that app. I also have a network printer hooked in wired, but wireless devices can't see it.I have 2 problems:
1) In order to transfer files from my laptop (which I have hooked in to the wired network most of the time), I have too disconnect the wire, connect wirelessly, then I can transfer the files. Works, but it's inconvenient.
2) I would like a netbook that I have on the wireless connection to be able to print to my wired network printer.
It appears that the 2 networks are not seeing each other. Here are the things that I have tried:
1) I disabled the DHCP on the wireless router. My thought is that requests for an IP address sent to the wireless router would be forwarded along to my wired router... NOT. On my iPad and Wii, they could no longer connect wirelessly. Strangely enough, with the wire disconnected and connecting wirelessly with my laptop, I was still getting a 192.168.0.x IP address, even though DHCP was disabled on the wireless router.
2) Thinking that I would just manually put the wireless router on the 192.168.1.x network, instead of telling it to get an IP dynamicaly from the Internet connection, I manually set it's IP to 192.168.1.245. Bad mistake. I could not connect to it at all from anywhere then. The only way I could fix that was to hook it wired to my notebook, assign a static IP to my notebook on the same network as the router, then I could got to the setup page and set things back the way it was.
Another thing... Even when I'm only connected wired on my notebook and wireless is disabled, I can ping 192.168.0.1 (the wireless gateway) and it returns a value. But, when I try to go there in a browser, I get a "page not found" error.
I am running a wrt54g and I was woundering what is the longest rj45 cable length I can run?
I notice running about 30 plus feet connection does not work. When I cut off about 5 feet it worked. Seems I can only run a ceratin amount of cable length with this router.
I have the cisco WAG120N router. In order to avoid constant radiation I would like to be able to connect my computer and router using an ethernet cable and if possible disconnect and use it wireless when I need more than one computers or netbooks to be connected to the internet. I tried to connect my computer with the router using an ethernet cable but I realized that I continued to have the wireless network on.
I have a Linksys BEFSX41 wired router. If I wanted to connect a second computer to my router, what would be the maximum length of cable I can use without experiencing any problems ?
I have xfinity internet with a comcast rented modem connected to a personally owned belkin router. I can successfully connect to the internet directly from the modem or if I connect to the modem to the router and then to my computer via ethernet cable. I cannot for the life of me connect wirelessly with any devices. The router previously worked when it was hooked up to comcast internet, but it was moden->router->my router. When I connect wirelessly on my Windows 7 laptop, it says I connect and that there is internet access. But when I try to load a page it takes me direclty to this website: url.. Comcast says that it is my router that needs configuring properly with xfinity and wants to charge me $39 to provide this wonderful service.
Router: Belkin Model F6D4230-4 v1 with firmware F6D4230-4_WW_1.00.03
Our small business just moved into a new building and I am in charge of setting up the network infrastructure. I am not new to computers or networking but I have never had to deal with this set up before.
Our current set up.We have a cable modem from comcast that has the Coax cable connected to it.The modem has 4 ports on it. The ports are connected to a built in 24 port switch that was already in the building. The switch has it's ports connected to outlets in the walls. Currently we have 4 computers on our network and since the cable modem had 4 ports it worked fine.
What we need? We will have another person join our office so I will need to activate one additional port on the switch that already exists. However, since all 4 ports on the modem are already taken, I have no way to add an additional port. They also want us to get wifi in the building.How I think I have to solve the problem (most likely wrong).I have to get another switch (like 8 port) and connect the cable modem to the switch using a cross over cable (if there is no designated internet port). Since I have the modem connected to the switch, I will have to move the 3 remaining connections to the switch.
Then I connect the 4 remaining ports on the switch to the existing 24-port switch that is already there. I will use one of the outlets in the building to connect an AP for Wi-Fi for better signal. Currently the modem and switches are hidden in a closet away from the office space and would mess up the signal.
We have kids in the house and I'd like to limit their internet access to certain times of the day but because of the great amount of devices they use (phones, tablets, laptops, etc.) the only way I could think of doing that easily was to set up two wireless networks: one that the adults could use 24/7 and the other that the kids could access during certain set hours.
Here's the equipment I'm working with:
DLink DIR 615 wireless router DLink DIR 515 wireless router Motorola Surfboard cable modem S85101U
I plugged the DLink 615 in, set it up for DHCP client and plugged it into the cable modem. I lef the default 192.168.0.1 IP address for the device. On that router, I also reserved the 192.168.0.199 IP address and assigned it to the DLink 515.I also gave the DLink 515 device the IP 192.168.1.1 so I could administer it.I set the DLink 515 to static IP and made the IP 192.168.0.199 and the default gateway 192.168.0.1.I plugged the DLink 515 into one of the LAN ports in the DLink 615.I set a schedule on the DLink 615 to shut down internet access to the DLink 515 at a certain hour and turn it back on at another time.Everything seems to work ok, but at least once a day we have to unplug and plug the routers to reset them.
I have a Comcast Router pushing out IP's in the 10.1.10.X range. I want to hookup a Linksys E1000 Router so I can use its wireless & Guest access features. The Linksys is using the 192.168.1.x range. I have a cable from the comcast router running into the Internet port of the Linksys. I have tried changing the Linksys router IP to 10.1.10.x and turning off DHCP. It will not allow me to the internet nor allow the PC connected to it to connect to the PC that is attached to the Comcast Router. I cannot replace the Comcast as it is a combi router/modem.
I have tried to connect Comcast to my new E2000 router, with negative results. I did perform the firmware upgrade on the router (to 1.001). My old Netgear WiFi router works fine, so I know the configuration works.For testing purposes I have the following:
MacBook Pro > E2000 Comcast > E2000
Both via Ethernet cable.
I do have access to the E2000 via web based interface. I have tried a variety of configurations, including the use of the "static" configuration using the current Comcast ip, gateway, subnet and DNS that currently exists. I am unable to get the Auto DHCP to work - Comcast ip's do not appear (in the "status" window.)
I am trying to determine why Comcast Business Class modem configured with a static IP (IPV4) works with a laptop or Linksys Cable modem but not with a Cisco ASA 5505. After a few minutes, the 5505 stop passing web traffic. I am able to ping the default gateway even though I can not surf the web. Restarting the 5505 and the Comcast modem, web traffic flows for a short period of time, then stops. I can connect inside the firewall via ASDM 7.1.1 and via SSH. I can not connect via either from the outside. Comcast tech support indicated their router is working and is configured in bridge mode. I swapped out the 5505's memory, and then with another 5505. Nothing seems to resolve the issue. I am trying to determine if the 5505 or the Comcast router is not configured correctly.
Here are the parameters: The 5505 was reset to default factory settings via the command: config factory-default. Configured the outside interface with static IP Address followed by the no shutdown command, then removed DHCP features from outside interface. Added Comcast DNS servers, default route, ntp servers, configured DHCP features on the inside interface. Enabled HTTP/SSH (inside & outside interfaces) and ICMP echo-reply (outside only).
I believe the Comcast modem is not configured correctly. The show version and show startup output are below.

I have an RVS4000 V1 router connected to a Comcast Extreme 100 mbps cable modem.The port setting for the port (number 4) is 1000Mbps Full Duplex, auto Negotiate.why the RVS4000 is throttling the port?
I bought this wonderful voice gateway off the internet from someone. So not sure if they ever used it with Comcast.So far I hatve had no internet once I plug it to the cable. I have asked Comcast tech for activating this device. However they say it is not supported and they have tried sending it the Activation signal but they say it fails. I can see all lights lit up and go green when I connect this device to the cable, is there a firmware upgrade for DPQ3925 ?
My router worked fine. Comcast did updates and now it wont work. If I connect the cable modem to the laptop the internet works fine.It's the router. She said I need to reconfigure it. I tried looking on the site, typing in the 192.168.1.1 thing and the password "admin" is not correct.
My cable modem is Motorola SB5120. My linksys is WRT54G2 V1. how to reconfigure this to work! We work from home and this is a huge obstacle for us to not have wireless internet
Just got U-Verse High Speed 10mbps/1mbps. However it came with a 2wire 3600HGV router/modem combo but I prefer my old apple airport + modem setup. I looked around the 2wire's GUI and it didn't have anything for Bridge Mode like other gateways I use to have. How are you setting up your U-verse to use standalone router?
I have an old router linksys WAG54GS and now with my new internet connection gave me a HUAWEI 530.I'm still using linksys.So i wanted to connect the HUAWEI on the Linksys cause it has an external button for wireles, which Linksys doesnt.I followed the wizard you wrote.The DHCP off on the HUAWEI Different IP.So the Wired LAN worked fine, having an IP from the Linksys, but the wireless doesnt get one..I tried a lot of things on the huawei, nat off etc but nothing On the linksys i give on DHCP IPs from 192.168.1.105 - 7.I tried connect the netbook but only wired worked, not even my cellphone.
my modem/router WAG320N works ok but wireless client can't see wired and vice versa. they are in the same network (192.168.0. ), using the same 255.255.255.0 mask, same workgroup and yes firewalls allowing all packets in and out. IP addresses are form DHCP.
internet sharing works ok, but when im trying to play any game on LAN wireless clients can see them self but not the wired one. when im trying to ping wireless client from a wired machine it doesn't work either.
what's intresting in a DHCP reservation or ARP table (in router setup) i can see both wired and wireless clients. but still they can not see each other.
I have a problem with my E3200 that has happened at least 4 times since I first purchased, installed and configured it. Initially I thought it might be something with Comcast, but a) I never had the problem with my Linksys WRT54G router and b) It seems I can now duplicate the issue by saving a config file and restoring it.The specific issue appears to be somewhat random. At some point the connection to the Internet simply stops for no apparent reason. I am able to ping the router and connect to it. I am also able to drop and renew connections to the cable modem successfully. Furthermore, I can ping my network side of the router, as well as the external address handed to my router by the cable modem, and the cable modem gateway address, but still no connection to the Internet.The only solution to my problem has been to restore the factory defaults to the router and reconfigure it from scratch, which does seem to fix the issue for a time until it occurs again. FYI, I do not use the Cisco connect software because I have several custom port and QOS configs that are necessary for an IP Phone and other hardware on my network.
