| Re: [Other] Setting up a Home Network Tom:
Just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. If I use the D-Link as an access point do the following. I should take the 3346n-002 modem/Router out of Bridge Mode? Connect a cable from one of the 4 ports on the netopia to the input of the D-Link. Next convert the D-Link to an access point by going in the WBR-2310 GUI and disable the DHCP. Then connect a cable from one of the 4 ports on the D-Link one of the ports on the switch.
Thanks,

Just got a chance to set up wireless router as an access point. Works great. Thanks for the help.

| Hello Again Tom:
My wireless router is working great as an access point. What happens sometimes is that when I turn on my laptop to use it wirelessly it cannot obtain an IP address. I have to perform a power reset on the router to get the IP address. Is there something I still have to do?

| Re: [Other] Setting up a Home Network Hello Tom:
It would happen when I would first turn on the laptop. It has not happened for days. One thing I did do and I don't know if it made a difference is that I stopped using Open DNS. Would that have anything to do with it?
Thanks,
Marc | |

Milford, NH | Re: [Other] Setting up a Home Network DNS shouldn't matter. DHCP assigns IP config info that includes DNS server address. Even if DNS is wrong system will have a valid IP so you can at least access local devices.

| I don't know enough about that modem to comment on the router/switch setup off the top of my head, but as far as the super G router goes, I have the original version of that router I believe it bonds two radio channels together to get 108 (54+54). The only problem is that you must have another (and probably the same brand) super G wireless adapter on the other end to experience 108mbps. Otherwise it'll just be 54. Also, you might know this already, but if you're just accessing the internet you'll never hit the 54mbps cap, but if it's to transfer files between computers, then you might enjoy the extra benefits of 108. I'm sure they've made improvements since, but with my original DI-624 router, it would never stay connected at 108mbps (I had a wireless desktop adapter to go with it) unless I was right under the router. A couple or three rooms away and it would connect and disconnect so much that the only stable signal I could get was when I actually turned off super G to make it stay at 54mbps. | |
