    Lads i know this isn't strictly a broadband issue, but im not getting any help from the net/comms & Wireless Forums!

    Can anyone give me a guide to setting up a wireless router on an wired eircom DSL line.

    i.e What addresses to set up where, what settings i need to have running or not !

    The wired Router is a netopia.

    The Wireless router is a Linksys.

    Im not that good with wireless so step by step stuff here guys if you can!

    Cheers Lads

    Broadly the most important thing seems to be putting the netopia into bridge mode. If you do not do that then both items attempt to act as a router so you have a conflict. When its in bridge mode the netopia just gets the signal from the line and passes it onto the router which will do the rest.
    the manual should tell you how to put the netopia into bridge mode.

    You then set up the wireless router with the settings you would use in the netopia.

    ok i went through this last week
    First get the net working all good and well before throwing the Linksys into the works

    Then change the netopia's ip address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1

    Now get into the linksys system change your ssid "from LYNKSYS" to what ever
    turn off dynamic dns and change it from a router to a gateway

    Now if you connect the wire from the netopia to the linksys WAN and the pc from the linksys
    Every thing should be sorted


    If you need more info give me a shout.
