Re: 2-WIRE and Netgear 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. | |
| Thanks.
Any idea what that error is coming from?
BTW I tried saving the 'disable wireless' in the 2Wire several times, and was unsuccessful. However, while I was on the phone with ATT support, they were able to change and save that config remotely. And... recently confirmed with an ATT friend of mine... that config is not a user-configurable setting. If you know a way around that, please tell me. | |
