help configuring: Netgear wifi router + D-Link GLB-802C router configured on PPPoE

Hi guys,

I am quite new to the networking but i have some basic understanding of how things work, but lets just say i have never dabbled too much with my modem or router .. i just let it be .. as they say why fix it if it aint broken.

I recently bought a laptop which has Wifi and thought it would be nice to have a wifi AP in the house to kinda roam about with my laptop and still have access to the internet. A friend of mine was kind enough to give me a Netgear wireless router he had spare, details of which are as below

Code:

Model:  	WGR614 v6	
S/W Version:  	2.5.21_2.5.21

I also have a Dlink ADSL 2+ router , details given below

Code:

Model:  	GLB-802C	
H/W Version:  	A1
DSL Version:  	E.37.9.48
S/W Version:  	2.5.060823e1

which is right now connected directly to my PC in PPPoE mode. I subscribe to MTNL mumbai. what I want to do is introduce my Netgear router into this lill network to make it a wifi access point.

my ethernet connection on the pc is configured to get its IP through dhcp and has DNS address assigened to it like so

(i couldnt put up any screen shots as the forum wouldnt allow me to post links)

Code:

IP Address:	192.168.1.3
subnet:		255.255.255.0
gateway:	192.168.1.1
DNS:		203.94.227.70
		203.94.243.70

heres how my DLink GLB-802C ADSL 2+ router is configured

Code:

now my understanding, after going through varieous posts, is that i can keep all the settings of the DLink GLB-802C ADSL 2+ router. All would have to do is to use my Netgear WGR614 wifi router as just a switch. I changed the IP address of the Netgear WGR614 wifi router to 192.168.1.3. i did not assigen anything to the wan config .. as i thought i aint using any of the routing functions of the Netgear WGR614 wifi router. i turned off DHCP on the Netgear WGR614 wifi router. and made the IP address on the PC static to

Code:

IP Address:	192.168.1.10
subnet:		255.255.255.0
gateway:	192.168.1.3

after that I connected my Pc to one of the four LAN ports on the Netgear WGR614 wifi router and connected one of the remaining LAN ports to the WAN port of the DLink GLB-802C ADSL 2+ router. Switched on everything, but sadly no internet ..

I can access both the devices using thier IP addresses

Code:

DLink GLB-802C ADSL 2+ router:	192.168.1.1 
Netgear WGR614 wifi router:	192.168.1.3 
PC				192.168.1.3

all the lights blink on both the devices when turned on ie .. ADSL,Data,LAN. I think whats happeneing is I did some mistake in the DNS settings .. as in the initial connection the DNS was fed in statically in the PC TCP/IP settings .. which i dint change. When i try to access pages it gets stuck with the status 'resolving host'.

any body have a clue as to what must be going wrong ??

thanks for any insight .. and am sorry if the post is not clear enough .. gimmie a shout is u guys need anymore info

hi guys

think i made a small mistake in the last part of the post ..

my PC IP address is 198.162.1.10

superprash2003 · 04-07-09, 09:44 PM

do not connect it to the WAN port.. connect it to the LAN port..

Hi superprash2003

thanks for the reply ... D-Link GLB-802C router only has a single RJ 45 connection .. and has no switching functions .. that what I called its port a WAN port .. my apologies if that is incorrect .. and as i am using my netgear router as a switch .. i am only using its LAN ports ..

Issue still remains unsolved ..

superprash2003 · 04-08-09, 08:13 PM

oh ok.. so you have connected it to the LAN port of the netgear.. so that is correct..
ensure the following as well
1)DHCP enabled in dlink
2)DHCP disabled in netgear
3)IP of dlink and netgear should not be the same

Check if you are getting an ip address in your windows machine.. and that you are able to ping your dlink with this setup

yup DHCP is enabled in D-Link GLB-802C. I haven't changed any of the initial settings of the D-Link GLB-802C.

.. the D-Link GLB-802C keeps its default IP of 192.168.1.1

superprash2003 · 04-09-09, 03:38 PM

set your gateway to 192.168.1.1 .. not 192.168.1.3 ..

essbebe · 04-09-09, 06:10 PM

Just what the doctor ordered !
I am also using beetel 110BX1 +wgr614V6.
SEE guide by @just4kix.
Since you had set GLB802C , just compare
with UT300R2 modem.
Basically all same.

sometimes it does not download from this forum. )
