said by rob1:said by dbirdman:D-Link is one of the ones that default to 192.168.0.1 I don't know about the Asus.
Incidentally, putting a router designed for Hughes on 192.168.0.3 is a *terrible* idea. Perhaps explains why the poster could not get it to work except as a switch!
You have to put it on something outside the 192.168.0.x block. Linksys for example default to 192.168.1.1 which is fine.
Why is it a "terrible" idea?.........
Because you now have two routers on the same network segment (the hughes modem is a router also). Routers are designed to join two different network segments, not to compete for the same space. When the LAN side and WAN side of a router have the same space (and 192.168.0.1/192.168.0.3 share the same space) it literally *cannot* route packets between the two.
Switches, on the other hand, are designed to move packets within a network segment.
