Im having trouble getting my Netgear WGR614 Wireless 802.11g Router to pick up my internet connection on my Netopia 2241N Dsl modem.. It detects my PPoE connection but it fails to pick up my internet connection..

I changed the Modems address from 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.0.54 to match the router's 192.168.0.1.. changed a few settings in effort to get this to work.. with no luck..

Can any one assist me please?

I figured it out.. thanks.. :)

the prob was the netopia modem already had settings to log on to my isp... with my username and password.. that prevented me from using the WAN port on my netopia router.. since they both cant long on to my isp.. so i started off by connecting the modem using of of the other ports on my router.. and have it sign on to my isp and share the connection.. (wireless everything worked)... but it really puzzled me that i couldnt get my WAN port up.. !!

did a lil more research.. finally i found that i could put my modem into bridge mode and have the router log onto my isp through it :blush:

pm me if anyone needs help or the config info ;)

Your first device is NOT a modem.. it is a gateway device, ie a modem/router combo.. putting it into bridge mode -- turns off the router functions.

Glad to see someone actually found some info on their own, without having to be spoon fed ;)

    • I can't believe it was only two years since the last time MS raised their prices and now they think they can do it again so soon. Of course they needed to backtrack on this. I hope Nintendo is next.
    • I guess I gotta be even more specific then since I'm looking for an absolute confirmation.  The mini PC has never booted up or powered on by me. I'm assuming it'll be like buying a new PC from a store. Nothing is set up. Like absolutely nothing on the mini PC because I can't emphasize this enough. My USB drive already has Windows set up on it from my other desktop so I know it's clean. So now I connect it to the mini PC before it's even booted up or go to the desktop. I then turn on the mini PC and boot into the USB drive. I should see an existing partition. I'll delete it and then install Windows again over the entire drive. I don't necessarily want to create a separate partition. Once it installs and boots to the desktop, I'm assuming the drive is "clean" and free of any malware/viruses. Basically, this process will eliminate any potential for malware/viruses to still somehow hide in the SSD and then potentially affect me later.  I'm being very anal about this because I really don't trust anything bought from AliExpress, but the price was very tempting.  Is Windows Defender reliable? Afterwards, if I do a full scan and it doesn't find anything in the SSD and the USB drive, can I be confident the mini PC is now safe and secured to enter my banking credentials? If not, what else can I do to be absolutely certain?
    • I got an ESR Qi2 vent charger for my car and it's fantastic. It's very strong magnet and holds the phone securely over the worst potholes/roads, and my iPhone does charge. In Summer, the AC blows on the vent keeps and keeps the phone cold. In winter, I just close that vent, so it still stays cold. I agree with you on the Android front. Why not just build in the magnets like Apple does? It's frustrating to buy a case that adds magnets.
    • Hey, I've been using Windows since I was a little tyke. But for the last 15 years, I have been using Linux. I'm using EndeavourOS/Arch atm. wipe it, as in deleting anything from the SSD in the computer. Make a new partition. USB booting device should be free of malware, as long as you download it directly friom MS. Not some XYZ company.
    • "Nuking it" is slang for doing a clean install. USB installation media... delete the partition... start fresh.
