Vonage I have a similar setup, except I am using a WRT54G where you are using the D-Link.
I have a similar setup, except I am using a WRT54G where you are using the D-Link.
The cable modem connects to the WAN port of the RTP300.
Instead of using the wireless WRT54G as a router, it is used as a combination switch + access point. Here's how: A standard (not reversing) CAT5 cable connects one of the LAN ports of the RTP300 to one of the LAN ports of the WRT54G. Very important, the WAN port of the WRT54G is not used at all. DHCP and the firewall are disabled in the WRT54G. This way, all ports on both routers share the same gateway and DHCP service of the RTP300.
I left the RTP300 at its default 192.168.15.1 router address and changed the WRT54G to 192.168.15.2 because both routers share the same gateway. Having a single gateway in the system simplifies everything.
Now any computer on the network can see the exposed resources of any other computer on the network whether it is a wireless computer using the WRT54G, or a computer connected to a port of either the WRT54G or the RTP300.
It's like having a single router with 6 ports and wireless all on the same gateway, all on the same level, with no router "behind" the other router. There is no difference between using a LAN port on one router or the other.
NOTE: While the QOS in the RTP 300 should give the phone service top priority by default this way, the QOS does not seem to work as well during uploads as I expected. I can see that file uploads are limited in a way that always leaves about 100k for Vonage uploads, but people I call still say I break up under these conditions. I wish I could tweak QOS manually. I would like to double the bandwith allocated to Vonage while Vonage is using the uplink.
