Swimmer Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 try 192.168.1.1 for the linksys.. what exactly are you trying to do here? Have two access points? or have these two routers communicate with each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granpa Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 192.168.1.1 is being seen as WRT54G if that helps - and asks for a user and pass (screen) You need that information to get into the WRT and the information to set the Netgear to the network unless the WRT is at default settings.

Guest jeffwalker9999 Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 I was incorrect 192.168.1.1 ids as 2140WVEGASDRIVE a screen asks for a user id and pass it was -- no user id ---pass was admin1 ( staff told me possable password) got into the config screen and only showing my pc "jeffwalker9999" in the dns table I think I got what to do to the Netgear unit now again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 i dont think you can do it the way you want to do it. you going to have to take a eathernet cable from port 1 on the netgear and plug it into the wan on the linksys and set the linksys to automatic dhcp. it will work that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted January 23, 2007 CID Share Posted January 23, 2007 yeah, what you are trying to do sounds like setting up a wireless bridge. consumer routers won't let you do that. you will need to get some fancier kit on both ends for that.
