Re: Action 8 port router RI408 using as just a router?
Well I just did it today, couldnt get it to work until I plugged into the WAN port..
I changed the main router (it is also a dsl modem) to 192.168.2.1
And I changed the 8 port router to 192.168.1.1
(reason for the seperate networks is because I share this connection with a neighbor and we dont want to share/view computers)
It seems when I plugged into one of the 8 ports the router would not be able either provide me an ip address to my NIC card or it would give me a dns error |

Yes. You disable DHCP in the Router and you plug your DSL Modem into one of the Routers LAN ports. You can't use the WAN port as that is not a switch port. Then the other 7 ports are for your PCs and IP devices.

| Im trying to use an Actiontech 8 port fios router with my dsl service.
So far, I have hooked it up to my Westell 327 DSL Modem/router..It seems to work for a little while then it stops..I believe there is a conflict somewhere.. Ive only been able to make it work while plugged into 1 of the 8 ethernet jacks, but not when its plugged into the white LAN port
Does anyone know how to reconfigure this 8 port router so that it doesnt act like a fios modem but just as a switch/router??? |
