| Question About > Siemens SpeedStream 4200 & TP-Link TL-R402M
Hello Guys,
I have a problem configuring my new TP-Link 4-Port Cable/DSL Router (TL-R402M) to connect to the internet. My modem is Simens SpeedStream 4200.
ISP Type: PPPoE
I did insert the correct username and password but still it won't work. Any solutions on how to resolve this?
Thanks, Zhythe |

The quickest way is to leave the 4200 as a Router (yes the 4200 is a DSL Modem and it is also a Single Port Router that only needs a 10-100 Multi-Port Switch to expand the available ports up to the supported 253 PCs it can handle) and set your new Router up using the Automatic/DHCP "connection type" instead of the PPPoE "connection type" since the 4200 is already handling the PPPoE.

| The SpeedStream 4200 should be set to output your public IP address (not a private IP address), in order to avoid double-NAT issues. Not knowing what configuration options your 4200 firmware provides, I can't tell you what steps to take to have the modem/router output a public IP address. You would be looking for a DMZ or IP Passthrough option in the configuration pages. |
