Can't connect Wireless Modem to Wireless Router

[w00t_Masta]

Hey All,

I have a Wireless Modem that works perfectly (i can use the wireless fine) but i need to connect it to a Wireless Router. But it won't work.

I also have a non-wireless Modem that when connected to the wireless router everything works great. But i have to return the non-wireless modem.

I think it might have to do w/some gateway settings on my wireless modem. Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

"won't work" means what? Both devices refuse to power on?

What modems are these anyway? Dialup, cable, DSL, some special wireless connection?

Gateway settings on the wireless modem? If that modem cares about gateways and such, then it is a router device and you should connect it to one of the LAN ports of your wireless router. Disable the router's DHCP server and make sure you don't have any IP address conflicts.

get the MAC address of your system via ipconfig /all
disable your WiFI and wire the hardware

modem -->router-->system (wired only to get it confg'd)​

log into the router admin page, typically 192.168.0.1

set the router to masguarde as the systems MAC address
set both dhcp and DNS enabled
change the ADMIN password
set the SSID to anything other that the default
save the settings
logoff the router​

power off all devices and restart them in this order:

1) the modem, wait 30sec
2) the router, wait 30sec
3) your system​

you should have a WIRED connection that will work.

disconnection the router -->system
enable your WiFI card

view network connections and select your SSID

you should be running
