The issue is whenever I type the http://192.168.1.1 to get linksys router I always get the Dlink modem interface.

How I can change the settings (configure)for my Router.??. Please advise.

Please note that if I disable the lan connection and enable it back. While The lan connection is enabled, i get the linksys interface for the time being, but as soon as the lan connection is enabled, access to the Router interface is gone and is replaced by modem interface

Please advise

• Disconnect the D-Link modem from the Linksys router.
• Now 198.162.1.1 will connect you to Linksys.
• While configuring the Linksys Router change its IP address to something like 192.168.2.1.
• After configuring Linksys router, reconnect it back to D-link modem
• Now D-link will be accessible from page 192.168.1.1 while Linksys will be accessible from 192.168.2.1

Hope this helps. The guide here explicitly mentions changing the IP addresses.

Whenever you have two router's connected you have to change their default ip's like above to avoid ip address conflict!!

Thanks for the reply..but the solution didnt worked for me.
1. Disconnect the D-Link modem from the Linksys router.

# I did but still i get the DLink modem interface when I try 192.168.1.1 (even after refreshing several times)

2. Now 198.162.1.1 will connect you to Linksys.

# It didnt

3. While configuring the Linksys Router change its IP address to something like 192.168.2.1.

# I somehow managed to get to the linksys interface once by disabling the Lan connection and enabling it back. I could get to the linksys only in the time duration when the Lan connection is enabled back after disabling it.
I changed the ip of linksys router to 192.168.22.1

4. After configuring Linksys router, reconnect it back to D-link modem

# I did

5. Now D-link will be accessible from page 192.168.1.1 while Linksys will be accessible from 192.168.2.1

#I could get connected to linksys by typing 192.168.22.1 only once. I added the network security code to my router
Now again i can't get connected to my linksys router interface by typing 192.168.22.1

Please help

You are not doing somthing right. When I said, disconnect the D-link router, I meant that you computer should be connected to Linksys and D-link routre must be disconnected from the computer.

If this is done, then there is no way you will get D-link web configuration page. How can it? It is not connected. Or else you must be getting it from the cache.

Clear the cache.

After this is done, follow one of my guides (sticky posts). I have mentioned UT-300R2U/WRT54G combination but the principles are same.

yes,make sure you press the refresh button!!

Thanks,,, it was very helpful.

Now it worked for me.

The only mistake I was making was setting the routers IP Address to 192.168.22.1 . I tried changing it to 192.168.1.10 and it worked. No issues now

Thanks for your response

Thank u for exlaining the procedure. Will try it out soon. A good writeup with pictures to supplement. Very helpful and easy to understand.

I noticed that if I get connected to the Internet through ethernet I get speed about 110kbps down and 73 kbps up, but as soon as I switch to wireless the internet speed goes down remarkably to 53kbps down and 40 kbps up

Please note that I am only using one PC right now

well i think its obvious wireles speeds are quite less compared to wired.. reasons being that you are far away from the wireless router etc

Thanks for the instructions.... I was trying on similar lines as well, but did not succeed...let me check again today.

thanks

Hi All,

I tried to follow the instructions but my MTNL UT-300R2U just does not have the GIU shown in the step by step guide posted by Just4kix.

Anyway, heres how I configured my modem with the WRT54G router.

On the Modem - set the ip address to 192.168.1.2 with DHCP enabled.

On the router -
1) set the mode to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP"
2) Disabled DHCP
3) In Advanced Routing set the mode to Gateway.
4) Connected the modem LAN cable to one of the LAN ports on the router.
5) Configured a static ip address on my desktop and set default gateway to 192.168.1.2 (modem)

Switched both Modem and Router off and on.

Have been browsing fine since then. I spent the better part of sunday morning before I came up with this configuration. Everything else that I tried kept failing or else the step-by=step giudes posted on this site didnt work as my software version on the Modem is different.

hope this helps.

Just download the attachment and unzip it and you will get a .doc file which will give you step by step instructions with screen shots making it very easy for you to do this setup.

**The second file is the updated version so please download the second file for latest updates**

Thanks Man Works fine for me now.

replace router ip to 192.168.2.1 and restart the router.
