Re: [Wired] Linksys router keeps dropping connection [BEFSR41]
This is my setup for the SpeedStream 4100 or 5100b modem to a Linksys router. This setup allows you to access the modem's user interface through the router. Make sure your NIC is set to Obtain an IP address automatically.
First,hook the modem to your PC,and access the modem by entering »192.168.0.1 into your web browser's address bar
Second,go into the modem's user interface and change the PPP Location to "PPP is on the modem". Click "Save Changes".
Third,enter your username and password in to the Connection Configuration page. Select "Always attempt to connect" for the Connection type,and put a tick in the "Let LAN device share Internet address?" --No, use private IP address. Click "Save Changes".
Now the modem is set to connect to the internet.Disconnect the modem from your PC. Plug the modem into the WAN port of the router. Now plug your PC into one of the router's LAN ports. Access the router's user interface,and go to the LAN IP Setup. Change it from the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.X.1 (X being any number from 2 to 254).Click Apply. Note:To access the router,you will enter the LAN IP address you entered previously.
Now to set the router's WAN connection type. Manually configure your WAN Internet Connection. Under Basic Settings "Use a Static IP Address". Enter the following.
IP Address 192.168.1.64
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Gateway 192.168.0.1
Next enter the Domain Name Server(DNS)address. Get these from your modem's Connection Information page.Now that the Static IP,Subnet Mask,Gateway IP,and the two DNS server IP's are entered,click Apply. |
