Re: westell 2200 with netgear router
said by mikepd  :
Once you put the 2200 in pure bridge mode by turning off DHCP, DNS and setting VC1 to bridge mode, it no longer responds to its internal address, AFAIK.
Except it does respond just fine. Set your Z10-II to the subnet the 2200 was last seen in (maybe the Z10-II can even create that WAN connection concurrently?).
I have a what I describe as a second "parallel router" with a WAN in the 2200's subnet. This router's only function in life is to access the modem - and I log the XCVR stats page hourly. I also need to add a ROUTE from my LAN box to use this second path to the modem. |

| The problem is that the Z10-II and the 2200 have the same ip address. So now if I type the ip in my browser, I get the router log on page. It took many, many tries to get the 2200 to stay in bridge mode so it would work with the router. Consequently, I am hesitant to reset the modem or do anything to change what is a working setup just so I can retrieve some stats from the modem although it would be nice.

Royal Oak, MI | Yep, sorry, I missed mentioning that detail - they do have to be at 2 different address spaces. My LAN is in 172. |
