Guys I need help with UPC Cisco Router

kamin99

Guys I need help setting the new Cisco modem /router to work as a modem only .as I have this fancy Netgear 3700 Dual band router which used to work fine with Eircom modem but now it refuses to identify Cisco as a modem only so it dosent work!
basically I would like to disable the Cisco wirless and configure it to be a modem only ,I can access the setup but dont know much about bridging also it says Bridging (wirless ) no mention of bridging in ethernet mode as this the way Cisco will connect to Netgear
Thanks

I'm not sure you'd need to bother with the bridging. Plug the router into one of the ethernet ports and the modem should supply it with an IP. The router should then supply the computers etc with IPs.

Remember to just set the router so that it detects everything automatically, dynamic ip etc. You shouldn't need to enter a username/id for your internet service either.

Oh I hope it is the case, cause I spent hours last night trying using the Netgear router setup disk and it failed to read the Cisco modem

I also had the old Scientific atlanta modem from a previoue UPC cancelled account and when I replaced the Cisco with the Scientific atlanta. it detected the up and down signal but asked for UPC user and password identifcation,which I'm sure I was given one when I sined up!

Don't bother with the disc. Just plug a computer into the router with an ethernet cable and access the router via your web browser. You'll need to reset the router first by sticking a paper clip into the reset hole thingy at the back. Then go to 192.168.1.1 on your web browswer. The default Netgear username is admin. The password is password (I know haha).

It should then bring you through the setup, choosing a dynmaic ip etc.

The reason your old modem is now asking for a password is because it is probably no longer registered to the UPC network/your_account.
