| 2-WIRE and Netgear I've used the Netgear (WNR3500u) device as an access point for some time with no issues.
ATT recently installed Uverse and of course, 2Wire "took over" my wireless. I can connect to Netgear wireless, but there is no internet.
This is what I'd like to do:
1) Disable wireless on the 2Wire gateway. (ATT will do this)
2) Use the Netgear device as the wireless gateway.
This is what I've done:
1) The 2Wire gateway IP is 192.168.1.254
2) On the Netgear device, I disabled DHCP and using a static > 192.168.1.253
3) When I connect to Netgear wireless, I see an error such as...
"(10.0.0.3) is managing this device..."
This is what I have:
>> Netgear WNR3500u
OUTSIDE > 2WIRE > 2WIRE WIRELESS (will be disabled)
>> Switch to wired devices
Ideas?
Thanks much. |
| You can disable wireless in the 2Wire yourself.
I don't exactly have the best grasp of what you have going on there, but I'll tell you what I did for over a year.
First you can do one of two things, what your doing now, by using the Netgear as a wireless AP, disabling DHCP, and plugging the cord from the 2Wire into one of the LAN ports instead of the WAN port.
The above method I never bothered much with, since I wanted NOTHING to do with the 2Wire. So I went the other way, and set my Netgear WNDR3400 up as a completely separate network from the 2Wire.
Disabled wireless, plugged the cord from the 2Wire into the WAN port, oh and you should change the 2Wires IP range to the 172.16.0.X range (or to one that's different from the router your going to use)
I also set the 2Wire to "DMZ plus" mode for the Netgear.
Some say the latter method can be problematic, but it worked best for me. |
