I just change the last digit and it works fine and also gives me a new IP any time I want. Works great for getting back on sites LOL !]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20967335 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:46:35 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20966360 slade : I use the same router, all you should need to do is..

Unplug the power to the modem.
Hard reset (use the pin hole) on the router.
Wait until it's online.
Plug power back into modem.
Make sure router is set to Dynamic.

You don't need to clone the mac address, all that would do is show one of your PC's mac addresses instead of your routers mac.

Then setup your security and your done! :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20966360 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 22:49:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20966098 urbanriot : Did you try doing a hard reset to defaults on your router?

What about a reset on your cable modem?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20966098 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:48:01 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20965945 mousky : Have you connected your computer directly to the modem (not the router)? Are you able to connect to the internet?

Did you follow the advice at »Have a problem?

Although I am very happy with the speed increase, I have found it impossible to get connected through my router. :(

I have a D-Link DI-524 router which worked fine with DSL. I have changed my WAN settings to DHCP instead of PPPoE and filled in Cogeco's primary and secondary DNS addresses. I leave the MAC Address field blank as it is optional. However, I am not able to connect to any websites.

If I do clone my MAC address, the router produces a message telling me that my MAC address is invalid or in the wrong format, despite the software automatically cloning it.

WTF?!?!

On the one hand, it would appear D-Link is at fault due to the error message regarding the MAC Address, yet it should connect without the MAC Address in the first place.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20965269 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:39:26 EDT
