Vonage I recently added a wireless router to my network to make use of the laptop I got about
I recently added a wireless router to my network to make use of the laptop I got about 6 months ago. Prior to adding the WRT54GS, everything was fine, with moderately good call quality. Here's my info:
1. Location: near Boston, MA
2. Comcast Cable
3. Speeds unknown
4. Motorola SB5120 cable modem
5. Routers: Linksys WRT54GS (wireless) and RT31P2 (Vonage)
6. Setup of Network: modem > WRT54GS (with PC wired and laptop wireless) > RT31P2 (with phone only)
My first setup was:
modem > RT31P2 (with wired PC) > WRT54GS (with wireless laptop)
I didn't know at the time about the separate networks, and so did some research when I couldn't share files or see the printer attached to the wired PC.
My current setup:
I followed Nate Hoy's 2-router setup (though maybe I should have followed along with the WRT54GLL/etc. instructions instead) and have a LAN port from the wireless router connected to the WAN/Internet port on the Vonage router. I gave my Vonage router a static IP of 192.168.1.120 on port 8080.
I have the firewall disabled on the Vonage router, and enabled on the wireless router.
Results: (insert game-show "TA DA" here)
I can connect both wired and wirelessly to the WRT54GS. I can access the Vonage router through port 8080. I can ping Google, etc. from the WRT54GS's Diagnostics screen.
I can't ping anything outside the LAN from my laptop or PC, wired or wireless. I have no phone lights. If I connect directly to the cable modem, I can get to the internet.
Things I've tried to fix it:
I temporarily disabled the firewall on the wireless router.
I disabled MAC filtering on the wireless router.
I enabled MAC cloning on the wireless router.
Things I haven't tried yet (because I didn't have time this morning before leaving for work or didn't think of it until I got here):
Putting the Vonage router in front.
Following Nate Hoy's more specific instructions.
CH3MI5TR4NG3R's setup
What I'm hoping is that I can get some ideas to try out tonight when I get home. Please let me know if you need more information, and I'll try to remember the details.
Thanks!

• first- change the static ip on the vonage router to something under 50 (192.168.1.35).
• Hmm...the only reason I picked 120 is because the DHCP range defaulted to 100-149,
• o im sorry i was wrong then. I was under the impression that your range was 1-49.
• Not sure if you're still having a problem.. but the easiest thing to do is to use
• Okay, I want to make sure I understand the terminology and concepts before I try
• Exactly... it simply passes traffic though to the PC's hanging off of it.

• I owe Nate Hoy big time. I decided that, before trying the Vonage-router-first
