[Cable Modem Wifi Scientific Atlanta
Hanne Rylaarsdam
I have UPC internet connection (chello.pl).
My router is D-Link DIR-300.
When I use provided modem to connect to the internet there is no problem.When I try to do it via router, I can't get a connection.I can log in to router and change its settings but the router does not "see" the internet.I set connection type to dynamic IP address (DHCP).
EDIT:
ISP -----[concentric cable]----- modem -----[ethernet cable]----- PC (that works)
ISP -----[concentric cable]----- modem -----[ethernet cable]----- router -----[ethernet cable or wifi]----- PC (that doesn't work)
Have you shut down the modem and router and then restarted the modem and allow it to fully boot and then restart the router? Have see an issue whwrere modem is "bound " to the MAC of the computer at setup. Have seen this when changing routers as well. Have also seen cases in Canada where the ISP has to make a change to allow a different MAC. Sometimes waiting 24 hours without modem connected works if DHCP lease is short.
Have also seen D-Link modems that need to have the speed on the WAN port set manually. default is auto and some modems do not work well this way. On the D-link firmware I have it is on the Advanced tab and then Advanced Network. You can pick from 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps or Auto. Try each one and see what you get
Your router should also be able to Spoof the MAC of the computer and that may be needed if above does not work. There is a button on the Manual Internet setup page "Copy your PC's MAC Address" that makes this easy.
Many modems will not recognize the new MAC address when you change to the router. Some will reset after some period of time, and others have to be reset manually. The can be done by cycling the power. There are modems in the U.S. that have a battery (for 911 service) which you can't power cycle. Those have a reset button on the back for this purpose.
If that doesn't work then you are likely going to have to set it manually. Therefore, view your network connection on your PC while connected directly to the modem in order to get the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses. Also, if the MTU is available make note of it.
Once you have that info, connect your router and enter the administrative software. This is done by entering the router's IP address (typically default is 192.168.0.1) in a browser. Once in there, you can setup the Internet connection manually. Below is a screen shot of that. Also, make sure you click to copy your PC's MAC address. This will allow the modem to think it is connected to your PC again.
The solution for me was to ask my ISP to change the modem to "bridge mode". Otherwise, it was giving my router a LAN ip instead of the public or WAN ip.
I am considering moving from the grand-father VIP TV package plus 500D Internet), I am hoping someone can help here as I have a couple of on-line chats with tech support and I do not receive clear answers- more of sales pitch.
My understanding is that all traffic would go through one rogers gateway modem where internet and TV would go through this one device. Re. one cable line where cable TV is really streaming via the one wifi hub and meshed with additional ones. Thus, any bandwidth is shared with Internet traffic.. Is this true?
For many reasons including the fact hat I work from home and do not want any internet delays, router provides enhanced security, better wifi coverage, encrypted DNS, privacy, etc that any Rogers box cannot provide - no offense,
Basically, you should get the basic configuration and setup working. Then go to the next step putting the Rogers modem in bridge mode, connecting your router, verify internet connectivity, and reconfigure the Ignite TV boxes to use your wifi network.
