| modem setup menu through linksys router
I am having some difficulty accessing my modem while I have my router connected (I want to check line stats).
If I connect my modem (st516) directly to my pc I can connect via 192.168.1.254. However if I include my router (WRT54GL) in the mix, that menu is no longer available. My modem is in bridge mode (followed the instructions on the TekSavvy site).
After doing a google search for this I have come up fairly empty. I'm not the smartest cookie when it comes to networking so any help would be appreciated.
Worst case scenario is that I just disconnect my router and connect my modem whenever I want to check stats but that leaves others d/c for a while. |

| Hey there,
Follow this link:
»www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Ac···guration
Works just fine with my DD-WRT on my ASUS WL-500W and ST516.
Watch out for the "vlan1" thing, I think linksys uses that code, but for me, I had to change it to "eth1" because of ASUS.
Good luck! |

I've been looking for a way to do this too, but with the Tomato firmware.
Anyone has insight on this? Would really help reducing downtime with plugging/unplugging cables...
Thanks. |

Menu --> Administration --> Scripts
Copy & paste the following 2 lines into the "Firewall rules" tab.
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev br1 brd +
/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o br1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Do a reboot the router to get it to execute the scripts. From that point, DMT should work transparently.
If you need to reflash Modem firmware, you still need to directly connect your modem directly to the PC, otherwise you'll get an error message during the upgrade. |

Just make sure the modem and router don't have the same IP.
ie: Modem: 192.168.1.254
Router: 192.168.0.254
As long as the number where the X's are (192.168.XXX.1) not the same you'll be able to access the modem from behind the router. It's how mines always been setup and never had a problem. |

/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o br1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE OK but before I do that here is my setup:
Modem speedtouch 516v6 in bridge mode never changed the ip of it.
Router WRT54GL running Tomato and did change the ip to 192.168.2.1. Long story short it was less work to change the ip on the router to get it to work with a SPA2101 voip/router then getting the SPA2101 to work in bridge mode.
Connection goes like this
Modem>Router>Computer
Router>SPA2101 that has an ip of 192.168.0.1 only connected to the router direct not used as a router
Should I change your script in some way like?
ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev br1 brd +
/usr/sbin/iptables -I POSTROUTING -t nat -o br1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j MASQUERADE

That has never worked for me  |

| My router's address is 192.168.0.1. The firewall rules are copied directly from mine, so you should not change the 2 lines at all.
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev br1 brd ----> tells router to add routing rule to the modem (192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255) |
