BRIDGING MODEM AND ROUTER

Have you verified the settings for the Linksys? is the issue that you have entered the incorrect key for the wireless? Can you get online with one of the systems? or none? If not, the majority of DSL providers do assist in setting up the modem to work with popular 3rd party routers. You may need the modem bridged out and have the settings placed into your router for the other systems to get online.

>No, it really doesn't matter what type of service you have.
>To get it fixed just make sure that if your mom uses a modem and you hooked the router to it, modem must be in BRIDGED mode before you can make the router work.
>To set the modem to bridged mode you need to contact your mom's DSL provider so they can walk through it

In the diagram below, if this is your setup, modem has to be on Bridged Mode:

Phone jack --- modem --- Linksys Router --- computer

hi,

for you to be able to configure the modem to the router,you will need to set the modem to bridge mode first for you to be able to give way for the router,try to contact verizon and let them bridge the modem then right after that,thats the time you will configure the router

thanks and God Bless

hi
I've tried:
Having the router get an IP automatically from the modem.
Changing the router's IP address.
Having the modem pass PPPoE authentication to the router.
Bridging the modem.
Power cycling the guts out of everything.

Try these insturctions. Jump to page 109. http://www.netopia.com/support/hardware/manuals/SoftwareUserGuideV751Clsc.pdf

Apparently the issue is caused because the motorola 2210 is also a router. To solve the problem the motorola must first be placed in "bridge" mode. Complete steps are available at: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15855

Try to change the LAN IP address of your router to 192.168.2.1 by accessing the router's Setup page. You also need to set your Westell modem to "full-bridge mode". You need to ask assistance from your ISP to bridge the modem. After that, set-up the Linksys router to PPPoE then power cycle it.

do one thing change the ip address of the LAN in the 192.168.2.1 in the router then you get it after that configuration you done right ok

One thing that isn't mentioned anywhere is the modem has to be in bridge mode. I was told this by a Linksys tech after doing all that was documented in the references article. I contacted my internet provider and they told me how to set the modem to bridge mode. This corrected the PPPoE error.

I have att yahoo dsl which I installed about a year ago. The process required bridging the ADSL Modem (in my case a speedstream 4100) and accepting dynamic IP addresses and configuring PPPoE on the WAN side of my Linksys router. The ATT support person walked me through the entire process over the phone even though I was comfortable with making the Linksys configuration changes as I had to do the same in China without technical support. The modem configuration was no more difficult than the router configuration as it was performed from a web browser too. The biggest warning was that to reverse the modem change (if desired) required use of a reset button because the web interface was disabled as a result of the configuration change. My advice to you especially if you are willing to attach the Linksys router to the telco modem is to contact the ATT highspeed DSL support line and see if they will walk you through it like they walked me through it. Reviewing your Linksys User's Guide and understanding the configuration of that device would probably be appreciated by the ATT Support person as well as assuring you can access the Linksys router to configure it during the call.
