Which version of the NCS software did you use, and what did you have to change? I'm curious as to the settings, as my current firmware (the hacked Telus .48 one) crashes it's webserver so I can't enter the modem's settings after making changes (it only appears after I do a hard reset).

Do your settings work for Optik TV?

Thanks!

I am trying to set up my system in a similar manner but am not having any success. I don't know if the E3000 should connect to the Actiontec via its WAN port or one of the link ports.

Should the connection to the linksys be to its WAN port or a link port?

Can the Actiontec be at 192.168.1.254 and the Linksys be at 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.240 assuming the Linksys is handling the DHCP

Thanks

If connecting a Linksys to the Actiontec, use a link port. Putting it in the WAN port puts the Actiontec into router mode and will interrupt your connection. Connect the ethernet line to the WAN port on the Linksys. You will also have to change the default address range on the Linksys. If it uses 192.168.1.x, it will conflict with the Actiontec. Change it to 192.168.10.x and you should theoretically have no issues. Bear in mind if you call in for technical support, you will need at least one of your PCs able to be connected to the Actiontec as Telus will not support a 3rd party router connected to their gateway.

Don't use the WAN port on the LInksys, but connect the cable to the LAN side of the Linksys. Just treat the Linksys as a switch and better WiFi provider. Use the DHCP server on the Actiontec and disable the one on the Linksys. All the WiFi connections will now get their address from the Actiontec DHCP server.
