Re: Buffalo/DD-WRT setup help
You would access the it buy entering the IP address you assigned the AP. So there the scenario,Modem is 192.168.1.1,and AP is 192.168.1.2.
You would enter the appropriate IP address for each unit,to access it.

Mountaineer1, How do I access the Cayman modem. If I do the standard 192.168.1.1 I go to Centurytel's page about internet info, Not really the DSL Modem itself. How do I access it??.
Thanks

OK,you can access the modem at »192.168.1.1 .
The Netopia Cayman modems DHCP server will need to be set to an IP range,where it allow Static IP address to be use. The default range of the DHCP server,in your modem is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 . This setting doesn't allow Static IP addresses to be used,and causes IP address conflicts. Set the DHCP server,in the modem,to a smaller range. Like 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150. Save settings
Now,what you need to do is setup the Buffalo router,as I discribed earlier in this thread,as an Access Point. Change the Buffalo's LAN IP address to 192.168.1.2,Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 ,and the Gateway IP to 192.168.1.1 . Save settings
Also,remember to change the DHCP type to DHCP Forwarder and set the DHCP Server's IP address to 192.168.1.1. Save settings

Told you wrong, It does work like the listed stuff before when connected directly to modem. Also does it with the Belkin Modem attached in line.

No, I can only get to the Modem if I have my Belkin router connected and put in the IP address 192.168.1.1 and then up comes the Century tel page with the following info
Current mode : Centurytel DSL Modem
ADSL Line Staus: Up
PPPOE Status: Connected

Try typing 192.168.1.254 or 192.168.1.1 into your browser's address bar. See if you get a login screen.

Can you access the Cayman modem's user interface when your PC is connected directly to it?

Tipstir, It won't do anything when I boot up my computer. The guys at buffalo won't give help because it was flashed with DD-Wrt software. That's the way it came though in a SEALED BOX with a Buffalo Seal. Don't understand that but one source had info that buffalo actually was selling units already flashed with v24 sp1.
I don't know what to do as the manual that came with it does not cover DD-wrt.

Netopia Cayman 3341-CTEL? Doesn't it have a user interface? |

It is a Cayman 3300 ADSL Modem only. I really messed something up now trying to set-up my Ethernet adapter card in my computer. It won't connect to my Belkin Router now. Even went back and set things back to auto configuration and still does not work. Just going to unplug it for now and run direct to DSL modem. Tommorrow i will try the hard reset on the buffalo and see if your settings work that you listed. I was told that the Buffalo should auto setup just like my Belkin but it does not. Is that because of the DD-WRT software??.

Khrazee,is your DSL modem a router too,a DSL gateway? I have a Netopia DSL gateway,with a Buffalo WHR-HP-54G connected. I have it setup as an Access Point.

I have disconnected the Belkin unit and only have the Buffalo hooked up to the DSL modem and then into my computer. I can access the router via Interner explrer as normal, but after I tried the AP set-up according to DD-WRT Wki pages it still does not let me conect to the internet. I can disconnect the buffalo and in seconds my Belkin has an Ip address and it will connet to the internet. I want to replace the Belkin so i can share my DSL with my son acroos the street but he is 200 ft away and I was told the Buffalo unit with a 23Db Dipole would get me a Great connection with the 500 mwatt G-Sky adapter card that is in his computer. I just can't get the Buffalo set up correctly. they won't let me post a phone number to make it easier to communicate with somebody like you and probably have it up and running in minutes if could talk to some one instead of Posting's. i am new to all of thsi posting stuff.
thanks SmokChsr for comming back to me, I need a lot of HELP right now.

Are you removing the Belkin router to install the Buffalo? What it sounds like is that your Belkin is still in control of the network.
Configuring more than one router on a network can be done, but it's not something that I've had to do and is a bit more involved.
I guess now the real question is what are you trying to accomplish? If I'm understanding correctly you have the Belkin for internet access and now you are adding the buffalo (unknown for what purpose). For home networking you don't need (and probably shouldn't use) more than one router.
If you are using the Buffalo to add wireless capability, then it might be best to simply replace the Belkin with it. If you don't want to do a replacement then you would most likely want to disable all router functions on the Buffalo and allow the belkin to handle all routing.
I'm still troubled by the phrase "I can't get it to let me connect to the internet via my main computer" are you trying to run it through from the Belkin to Main Computer and then Buffalo?
For a typical setup both the main computer and the buffalo would be connected directly to the Belkin.
If you could clarify a bit on what the desired result is we might be able to help better. |

SmokChsr, I understand that the IP address is not right. The router is set with the 192.168.1.1 CORRECT and can't be changed???.
The Ip address was listed as my Belkin Router which is an Automatic set-up when you turn the computer on. Do you know how I can change the Computer to see the address of the router.
Do i have ti Delete the Belkin Stuff before I try and set up the Buffalo unit??, could that be causing the conflict. I did not know that this DD-WRT was so hard to work with. I wanted the BOOSTED Power output with DD_WRT to get more range, But this is getting to be a pain. I have fought this for almost a month now just to get it to work and still no working router.
Thanks

This seems to be the problem.. you are on net {192.168.}2.2 and the router is on net 192.168.1.1, if I understand correctly. I'm by far not the most experienced network person on the list, but those numbers indicate 2 different networks. If the router is 1.1 then your computer will need to have a 1.X number, to properly see it.
This tells me that your computer was either manually configured or is receiving its DHCP assignment from another router. With a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 all computers on that net have to have IP's in the range of 192.168.1.(2-255). |
