reply to PeeWee I'm even more confused now.. let me try and explain..
Modem: Smartax MT882 running original Fw. It's in Pure Bridge mode.
Now do I keep it in pure bridge or routed mode? if routed what IP should I add?
When I set my wifi router Router mode from gateway, I wasn't able to connect to the net..
My main aim is to assign my machine a Static IP and still have the router assign Ip's via DCHP to other machines that connect to it.. secondary aim would be to be able to log into the Modem admin page..
