Paradyne 6381-A3-200 ADSL2+/R/Bridge/Router very slow

Since your D-Link 2640 is a modem + router it may not work the way you intend.

You need just a wireless router without modem.

Run a small Ethernet patch cable from your Paradyne modem into the WAN port on your router, you can plug your existing Ethernet cable into one of the other LAN ports on the router, then access the router setup using the computer connected to the Ethernet cable using a browser and putting the router's IP address into the address line of your browser. It will most likely be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

Once you have configured the Wi-Fi router you will have your wireless network. Full instructions should come with the router.

Routers are available for as little as $29.95 but expect to pay closer to $79.95 for satisfactory speed and capability.

To configure your router, open your web browser. Type the default IP address (http://192.168.1.1) into the Location field of your browser and press the Enter key. A Login screen will appear. Use the below to log into your router.

The default IP address is 192.168.1.1
The default user name is Admin
The default password is Admin

Both are case-sensitive.

One way would be to use a laptop or a desktop as a go-between from the usb modem to the cat 5 of the ethernet router.

Go under LAN setup and enable NAT and Firewall services. Then go to LAN configuration to enable the dhcp server. Set the Start IP range and ending address.

It's not wireless

Does your router suports usb ports, normally routers do not support usb ports, please check if your router first suports usb ports

Hi; I have used it with both ethernet and usb connections at the same time. I have never used the bridge, but I use it at home.

Try this ( I have XP SP3): Right-click on the monitors where the clock is (lower right corner), select "Open Network Connections". Go to the LAN connection and r-click "Properties". On the "general" tab select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". There you select "Obtain IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server automatically" then click "Ok" until exit. Either Shut Down or Restart the PC. Check if this work.

I have modems 6381-A2-200, sw ver.03.00.10. This model does not support pptp-connection.

You don't -- the strength of the transmitter inside the unit is what limits the signal-strength out at 300 meters.

Instead, you need a "repeater" -- some people have built their own, using a Linksys router, and then reprogramming it with the free 'DD-WRT' software, and configuring the device as a repeater, rather than as an Access Point.
