| Setting up WGR614 and AT&T 2210
Ok I have searched and found clips of information, and still cannot get a connection through the router. I can connect to the internet with modem directly to router, adn my computer finds the router wirelessly, but there is no connection. I know there is something about bridged mode and changing ip addresses, but honestly I dont know where I need to do this at, as should I do some of this in the modem ip address, the router, the network connection page, im confused and any help or how to would be appreciated thanks. |

| With AT&T DSL, somebody has to do PPPoE. Either the modem or the router or the host computer does the PPPoE, but only one of them. If you set your modem to bridge mode, then the router should be in PPPoE mode and do the login to the DSL connection. That's how I've set it up and it seems to work the best with the least amount of issues for all the connected computers. No PPPoE software is needed on any of the computers in that scenario.
The modem will simply be providing the passive connection to the DSL line, the router will do the login and PPPoE translation and give a DHCP address to each connected computer.

| For AT&T Southeast, the common advice is to bridge the modem, and run PPPoE on the router.
For the rest of AT&T (former SBC, but not AT&T Wordnet DSL Service), we often put the router in DHCP mode, and let the modem handle the PPPoE session. You can choose to either share the public IP address with the router, or let the modem assign a private IP address on the router Internet port. If you do the latter, the Motorola 2210 will assign 192.168.1.64; this can cause problems with some Netgear models, so the usual advice is to change the LAN IP address on the router to something at 192.168.x.1, where "X" is at least "2", and no higher than "255".
