At the moment, I've connected my Linksys ADSL Modem to my D-Link Wireless G Router with a crossover cable, and that's exactly what the instructions that came with my Linksys modem said to do.... maybe it's a Linksys-specific thing or something...
Good point.

its a good idea to "resync your modem" - i have cable broadband so dont know if this is the same for adsl. When i got my router I had to:

a: go into router config and get it to clone the mac of my modem
b: turn on the router and the modem again at the same time

this seemed to work. seemingly some ISP'S (in my case ntl:telewest uk) have modems which bind themselves to the mac of whatever device they are registered from

This may be well overdue, but I'll post a reply anyway, just in case anyone else runs into this...

I had exactly the same problem with my RP614, trying to connect through a Speedtouch ADSL modem and a Huawei wireless modem.

Those modems wanted to assign an address on the 192.168.1.x subnet to the "internet" port of the RP614. This is the same as the default subnet on the LAN side of the RP614, and obviously this router can't handle that.

I changed subnet on the router LAN side to 192.168.0.x, and all is obviously fine now, since I'm able to post this message :-)

I'm embarrased to admit it took me three weeks to figure this one out...

Man! just return the thing. It dosen't work because it is faulty. I know netgear products and they are very simple and easy to work with so you should not be having that problem.

I am currently trying to install the NETGEAR WGR614 V6 and ive put all of the cables in the order that the CD instructed me to. My power and DSL lights come on my modem but all of the LAN, internet, and power lights turn on automaticly when i plug in my NETGEAR rouder, but i have no internet connection. Even when there are no cables in it the rouder lights stay on, I have tried to press the reset button on the back next to the antennea (with no luck). I pray that someone will please help me with this problem.

Coridially yours,

Kenneth

Kenneth,

Firstly thank you for your post & Welcome to Daniweb!

If you've tried a reset via the button as per instructions, tried turning it off for 30secs or more then restarting and tried a hard reset via the config page then it's probably fautly.

The retailer that you purchased it from should honour your warrantly; which for Netgear I believe is usually 1yr from the original date of purchase.

Regards,

Dazza
