| Can't get RH348 networked properly.
Okay, I have in my possession a Netgear RH348, and I am trying to determine if there is something that I am totally missing about the use of this router, or if it is somehow defective.
I have run the ISDN setup on this box. It finds and connects my ISDN numbers & SPIDs perfectly. I get a dialtone from both of my phone numbers.
I have run the internet setup on this box. It dials and connects, single channel and multilink without any issue--it also connects with the BOD setting, however, I have not been able to see if it adds the second channel as needed for one very simple reason:
I CANNOT GET THIS ROUTER TO PASS ALONG ITS ISP INTERNET CONNECTION TO ANY COMPUTER! This has been a real hair-puller for me, my computer does in fact see the router and it is set up via DHCP, Gateway address is correct, it is assigned an IP adjacent to the router's, the subnet is also identical, and yet I cannot get a connection to any web page, email, instant message, game server, you name it, if it's on the internet, I can't ping it, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. Is this router not passing along the DNS for my ISP? This is the only thing I can guess, but I would have to wonder why the heck this is so. Has anyone managed to get this router to function properly online? Did you do anything peculiar to get DNS from it? I really like this router as it seems to be a very no-nonsense one, but it is useless to me for anything but a phone backup if I cannot get it to pass along an internet connection to my computers. Do I have a lemon on my hands? |

You say you have the IP, Gateway, and Subnet set correctly for the PC to match the router, correct? Make sure your DNS numbers are correct in the router. Try setting the DNS numbers in your PC manually and not have them set from the router DHCP.
PM me your email and I will send you a text file of the RH348 router settings that I have been running for years with no problems. |
