Re: [HN7000S] Connecting a DI-254 router to a HN7000S Hughes Mod

Hi,

I'm using a DI-624 but the settings are similar.
I configure the D-Link to "pass through" the 7000 networking information.

The basic idea is to set the D-Link IP address to be different from the 7000 so you can manage it, connect it to the 7000 using the switch ports and not the lan port, this bypasses most of the D-Link's router functions then disable DHCP on the D-Link and set DHCP relay to on. This way the D-Link just sends the networking data and DHCP info from the 7000 through the wireless transmitter.

In Brief, D-Link Settings:
In your control panel for the wireless transmitter set your IP address to "Dynamic".

Set your DHCP to "Disabled" and check the box for DHCP relay. This will allow your 7000 to set the IP addresses.

I set the IP address of the transmitter to 192.168.0.10 and the router address to 192.168.0.1 (the 7000) Otherwise you will have an IP conflict as default for both devices is .1

Set your security to none for the initial setup.

It's important to restart everything before things will hook up properly.

Unplug both the 7000 and the D-Link and shut down the computer. Start the 7000 and then the D-Link. Give them a minute or so and start your computer and you should be able to access the net wirelessly.

Best,

Ken

Is the same principle used for wired router? I will be using Linksys BEFSR41.
