Vonage I've had a similar situation setting up my network and hopefully
have an answer
I've had a similar situation setting up my network and hopefully
have an answer for you. I have a Netgear WGR614 and first had it
set up as my primary router. Its DHCP server started getting flaky
on me and wasn't issuing IPs to my wireless laptop. To work
around this problem I decided to put my RTP300 as the primary
router in my network and turned my wireless router into a wireless
access point. This would accomplish two goals for me. 1) Use
the RTP300's DHCP server to work around my 614's problems and
2) make use of the RTP300's QoS features.
So first, I connected my cable modem to the RTP300 and my
desktop to an open LAN port of the RTP300. Next, I performed a
factory reset using the small recessed button on the back of the
router. Then I made sure I could log into the primary (RTP300) via
the web interface.
So next you'll have to turn your wireless router into a simple
wireless access point. DSL reports has a great FAQ on how to
accomplish this: Wireless Access Point FAQ
The FAQ is right on and the steps are pretty clear. The main steps
are:
1. Connect the wireless router to the RTP300. Connect an
ethernet cable to an open LAN port on the RTP300 and to
an open LAN port on the wireless router.
2. Log into the wireless router and:
a. Turn off the DHCP server.
b. Assign an IP adderss to the WR outside of the DHCP
range on the RTP but within the subnet of the RTP.
Once I had everything configured, I rebooted all my devices "from
the outside in". 1) Cable modem, 2) RTP300, 3) WGR614. Next,
I rebooted both my wired desktop and wireless laptop and
everything works very well. My network has been up and running
without problems ever since. I can log into my RTP300's admin
pages, my WGR614's admin pages, and share files and printers.
If you have any questions about how to proceed, please let me know.
