Re: Use Versalink 327W with cable modem

You want to enable Ethernet port one, but you don’t want bridge mode. Bridge mode disables the router features. Note that I haven’t tried running mine as a router so there may be other things you need to change.

Re: Use Versalink 327W with cable modem

I enabled Ethernet Port 1. Instead of Bridge mode I used "Routed Bridge" mode, which I assume means that the router is operating. Still, no go. Does anyone know any other settings that I need to change??

You need to change the WAN port to Ethernet Port 1

Re: Use Versalink 327W with cable modem

I guess my previous post was not clear. I did that. Then I changed the VC1 settings to Routed Bridge. Still no wireless routing of the incoming ethernet signal (to port 1). - M.

Re: Use Versalink 327W with cable modem

Well, I figured it out. The key was to reset the cable modem and then the 327W after setting everything up.

In case anyone wants to know, here are the steps:

1. Go to Configuration --> Advanced WAN --> WAN
2. Change WAN port from DSL ATM to ETHERNET PORT 1
3. Make sure that it is set up as a Routed Bridge
4. Once modem resets, select WAN again from the Advanced WAN menu
5. Click the "Edit" button
6. Change the DHCP to enabled
7. Save your changes
8. Turn off both cable and dsl modem
9. Turn on cable modem first, then dsl modem after a couple of seconds.
10. You should be all set.

Hope this helps.

Use Versalink 327W with cable modem

I am temporarily at a house that has a cable modem that is working fine and has a ethernet connection out of a cat-5 cable. I want to hook it up to the Versalink and use the Versalink as a wireless router only (i.e., no DSL modem).

I have tried to Enable ETHERNET PORT 1 and then use the advanced WAN features to create a bridge (as noted in the user guide at 12.6.5 "Configuring VersaLink’s Protocol Settings for Bridge Mode"). Maybe this is the wrong way to go.

Anyone know how to make this work?
