My faithful old D-Link 624 which I saved from an ignominious death in
the free box at a community garage sale many, many years ago has finally
passed :(
(respectful silence)
So this upstart Linksys WRT150N which I had in reserve has now stepped
up to starting position. Now this router is no spring chicken either but
given my situation in the backwoods it should be able to keep up with
our needs. I could use some help setting it up right.
First off I changed the IP address which defaulted to the same one as
the modem. Then set up the internet connection. So far so good. But now
this eager beaver new router thinks it should be handing out the NAT
assignments a job which the modem was doing just fine (I assume??)
without any help from the DI624 (which wasn't the sharpest knife in the
drawer). That kinda screws up my network.
I tried disabling NAT in the modem setup and setting up the PPPoE
connection and logon through the router but obviously I haven't a clue.
Reverted back to Auto DHCP. So what do I do? I really need my printer
back on the network.
