Is it possible to change the IP address range of a WRT54G ver. 6 from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.0.x?
I'm replacing my venerable Netgear router with a Linksys. If you followed my thread a few weeks ago you might remember I was experiencing slow download speeds going through the Netgear router. Power cycling the router cleared that problem a few weeks ago, but didn't this morning -- I got 7.15 Mbps through the router and 25 Mbps connected directly. So I figured I'd better replace the Netgear with one of the WRT54Gs I have in the closet. When I first put the WRT54G in place I connected it to my cable modem and to my desktop machine. I tried to access the WRT54G's setup at 192.168.1.1 but my desktop machine would not see it. I temporarily changed my desktop machine's IP address from 192.168.0.253 to 192.168.1.253 and was able to connect to the configuration page on the router and set it up. After saving the configuration of the router I was unable to connect to the Internet through it. Knowing I have multiple problems, I tried to put the Netgear router back in place for the evening, but it won't talk to the Internet either. I just got off the phone with a friendly Comcast Tech Support guy who was able to see the modem, and see that it was passing a signal to the router. I can connect to the router and see the IP address Comcast has assigned to the WAN side so I know the connection between the router and my desktop. (I'm sending this from my laptop, which gets a DHCP provided IP address, and is connected directly to the modem.) Any pointers on where to start solving any of this problems will be appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
