Re: NEW Speedstream 5200 keeps dropping EthernetSince the 5200 is a router as well as a modem, if I set my router to PPPoE, I get nothing! I have to set it as a direct connection, since the 5200 sends a direct connection from itself.
The light I'm refering to is on the Speedstream, 2nd light from the left labelled Ethernet. I noticed that whenever either of my computers on my network requested the internet, the light would turn off and then there would be a pause and no data would be transferred until several seconds after when the light reappeared. This does not happen on the speedstream when it is directly connected to my computer. |

The 2nd from the left or 2nd from the right? I've got a DSL light on the 2nd from the left. I have, in order PWN DSL USB ENET. |

Hi DFlash77 You are correct. Using PPPoE both on 5200 and on other router at the same time won't work. That is a conflict.
Since you are using 5200 as a router. You can treat the smc7004vbr as a hub. Try to connect the ethernet port to 1 of the 4 port on the smc7004vbr to see what happen. |

Mine is Power Ethernet DSL USB Activity I was looking at a post from another member and he mentioned that the 5200 can be configured through this link: » 192.168.2.1/vcwizardj.cg ··· ode=HOMEDoes anyone know if there is a manual which describes what all the options are? |

VPI = 0 VCI = 35
Leave everything else the way it is.
Choose PPPoE and then Client Only
don't specify an IP, name your connection, type the user and pass, finish and then reboot. |

I knew it was a simple solution! Thank you maginnovisio! It worked.
lol Sometimes you forget about the simple solutions! I knew the 5200 acts as a router, but I was treating it as a modem! So I was still feeding it into my Wan port of my router. Well I'm glad I'm up and running again and all my computers can function as well!
Take care! |

You are welcome.
I don't think there is anything wrong by using the Wan port. It should function in the same way.
Maybe u make some mistake somewhere in the smc7004 web configuration. Or somehow your smc7004 wan port is having some problem. |
