The tp-link needs to be set up to get an IP address via dhcp from your rta230. That way, all your internet routing will be set up correctly. If there's a dedicated uplink port on the back of the wireless router, then plug it into the adsl router.
Then set up your wireless router to either pass through dhcp requests to the uplink, or to serve a separate subnet to the wireless links. You may have some fun with the latter if you're wanting to share between wired/wireless machines. hth, Steve On Thu, 31 Jan 2008 10:14:19 +1300 Dave G <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestions > > In regards to the TP-Link I tried every suggestion I could find googling, > read both manuals several times, tried setting it up in bridge mode, > changing both the RTA230 &/or TP-Link IPs, basically every combination I > could find without any luck. > > I also downloaded and installed the latest firmware for the RTA230 > > I could communicate with either of them but I couldn't get the TP-Link to > communicate with > the RTA230/ see the net > > unfortunately during this time may desktop coughed (looks like a dead > harddrive) and was unable to get onto the mailing list before now with Gmail > on the lappie > > > Basically after many hours I've given up trying to get it working, not much > help I know ....sorry > > On 31/01/2008, Roger Searle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > linksys wrt54gl - firmware is based on linux. excellent device, great > > configuration options, used (or variations thereof) by numerous members > > of this list and myself. > > > > nice little wikipedia article describes the numerous variations (note > > carefully - they are not all the same): > > > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G > > > > > > going for as little as $136 . . . > > > > http://www.pricespy.co.nz/pno_8868.html > > > > however why did you give up on your tp-link setup? would you care to > > share where it went wrong? someone may be able to help with getting it > > working with your modem... > > > > Cheers, > > Roger > > > > > > Dave G wrote: > > > Hi all > > > > > > currently I have a Dynalink RTA230 broadband modem which I have been > > > using for a couple of years > > > with no problems. > > > > > > I am now wanting to set up wireless access for a laptop as well as the > > > existing desktop as the RTA230 has only > > > one eth port > > > > > > I have been trying for several days to get a TP-LINK wireless router > > > working with my modem and given up. > > > > > > I assuume the easiest way to do this is to geat a single unit > > > modem/wifi 4 port router/lan and would > > > welcome any suggestions or info on suitable linux friendly local models > > > > > > thanks.............dave > > > > > >
