Re: [Modem] Wireless Router and Wireless Modem Confliction.
first, check the wireless power setting in the 2Wire. It should be set all the way up at 10. The 2Wires have a 400mw transmitter, and that usually bests most other access points by a fair amount. If its not up at 10 then set it so and see if your wireless improves. It can be found on the local network wireless configuration page.
Failing that, if you really want to use the D-link, you can put the 2Wire into bridged mode, where it functions as a DSL modem only. The Dlink would then have to do the PPPoE and everything else. See »2 Wire »Bridging the 2wire and PPPoE (Disabling Router)

| Thank you very much for the reply Riss.
I tried boosting the power setting up to 10 before setting up the router, but it did not seem to have much of an effect.
Perhaps the modem needed to be rebooted following the change?
I'm going to give the first a shot again, and if that does not work I'll try putting the 2Wire into bridged mode. Thank you for the link.
Thanks  |
