Sagemcom 2864 + WAP610n access point FIBE 25MBPS

so let me get this straight... you complained about your wireless speeds of your "Connection Hub", called bel, they WAP610n, your devices are all working fine, now you want to screw up everything and remove the WAP610n and be back to square one? He obviously put the 610n there for a REASON. why muck with it, your devices are connected to it, no? so why try and re-enable the wireless on your Connection Hub when you no need to? mi no no?

You sound aggravated.

No, not everything is working fine. I have to reboot the modem daily. Sometimes i have to reboot 2-3 times a row for certain devices to get a signal.

The problem is always the same, connected to network, no internet access. If i troubleshoot using the windows7 wizard, i get the "wireless network ip configured incorrectly".

The WAP 610N that bell provides has issues of its own. There's a firmware update for it now, but when I was using it I lost connection once a day. (not mention the hilarious typo in the interface, (Candida French)

I recommend you get a Linksys E4200 device

if you want decent all around wifi and router

If you want to turn the Bell Sagemcom wifi (which also has issues) you can do that and pick a different channel, but not recommended.

Why do they even give you that POS if it doesn't work. I get daily drops like you, and the worst part is, Bell can't troubleshoot because the WAP610n is not their "stock setup". They can only help if i'm using the Sagemcom as a modem/router.

so maybe a firmware upgrade will help?

So sick of this. I've been troubleshooting all weekend with little to no help from Bell. They basically tell me they can't help with the WAP610n, and that i can try rebooting my devices. NO SHIT!!

I just did a full factory on every device.

If i keep losing connection daily they will come take all their shit back and their crap marketing fibe25, and videotron will come over and install me some nice cable internets.

I wouldn't give up, you're almost there

Look into the 81111 interleave profile if you're getting sync no surf issues, and buy a better router

You need a router anyway for cable if you decide to switch

With a router aren't I going to have tons of trouble with a router due to the fact that the sagemcom can't be put in real bridge mode? The ppoe bypass will create a double nat?

wireless or not, if u have surfing issues its not the WAP610n, first get the surfing issues fixed then you can worry bout the wap610n or what ever rouder you choose

No. Whn you pppoe,the sagemcom becomes a transparent device and the router gets a real public ip.. There is no double Nat.

if u put pppoe on the device, it will get a public ip. if u dont, it will get a 192.168.2.x ip from the "Bell Connection Hub" modem's dhcp, not hard to understand, all devices follow the same logic.

reply to seguycarbono
Did you update the wap610n ?

reply to seguycarbono
Here is the solution that fixed my problem completely.

Got rid of the WAP610n. And bought a D-Link powerline network adapter and extender.

I'm getting full speeds, everywhere, on every device.

reply to seguycarbono
Well i spoke too soon. It seems that no matter what setup i use, no matter what access point i'm using, the hub loses its connection. A reboot fixes the problem temporarily.

Called Bell again, all the guy did was change my PPPoe password. He told me the modem should stop losing its connectivity. Can't wait to see that.

The problem your having, or at least what your describing, is about as clear as mud.

Your first post implies you were having a wireless issue. But by the end of the thread, thus far, it sounds more like a sync, or sync no surf.

Can you be a little more clear in your description of the trouble maybe?

Do your wired devices lose connectivity also?

If they do, does the sync light on the sagemcom start flashing? If so this would imply a line problem and could explain your erratic speed issues.

If the sync light stays solid, then it could be a known issue generally referred to as 'sync no surf' and some people in this forum have some experience with THAT issue.

If your wired devices do NOT lose connectivity, but your wireless devices do, then obviously you dont have any sync issues. If that's the case, has the sagemcom been replaced yet? I use the sagemcom at home and have NO issues with it's wireless, other than it's range.

yeah man, all ths rant about his WAP610n not working and it turned out all this time it was a problem with his connection hub instead. Just unplug the 610N and cal up your ISP and do us all a favour and troubleshoot your connection first and foremost please!

Why are you so angry? I'm not a tech guy, i've been troubleshooting this stuff for a week or so now. What seems apparent to some, isn't to others.

Also, no one is forcing you to come into my thread. If you have nothing to help out with, don'T post! This isn't a little teenagers discussion board, if you wan't to have an internet persona you could always try montrealracing.com
