simply changing the mac on a dlink flashed with routertech doesnt work untill the router is set to MER mode like the isp provided one.

regarding the MAC address change to that of the isp supplied modem, thats no issue as the isp usually allows a MAC change over phone so i need to call them up and give them new MAC of new device and they will authorize it.

now this seems to go over my head but ill explain how it works with the isp. there is just one pair of wire coming to the home and the isp provides a ADSL modem with which when set to MER can connect to isp and the PC connected to the modem gets the WAN ip and if the modem is enabled with NAT then c...

i tried all that but doesnt work coz if the main router is not set to MER then it just wont connect to ISP, regarding the NAT that can easily be solved using NAT softwares etc which is the least of my concerns. main thing is the router needs to be in MER mode then only will it connect to server and ...

basically the provide in India named reliance use ADSL connections but its not just a standard pppoe connection but in the list there is something know as MER which is just pppoe conenction but only listed MACs on isp r allowed to connect so if set in plain pppoe and NAT on router then it wont work,...

just wanted to check if routertech firmware is capable of doing MAC Encapsulated Routing (MER) as ADSL broadband connections in India using reliance broadband use this rather than plain PPPoE or bridged connections and routers with MER only work, mostly the router provided by them only work for thei...

Re dhcp lease time, Yes, I have seen that the static lan clients time over-rides the default time - the workaround is to remove the machine from the static lan clients allocation (which doesn't make much sense in half-bridge). I may be able to change this in future. ok the following is what i did, ...

i tried the way u said, works fine. one question though, setting a short lease time, wont it cause a problem for modem and router? Its one message and reply to renew the lease so the traffic and load is negligible compared to the other things those devices do! D-Link variant of half-bridge ZIPB use...

There's a fundamental issue in half-bridge, before it gets and can give the WAN IP the modem will give a local IP. There's no easy way for the modem to tell the router the IP needs to change, so the usual way is to set a short lease time (about 60 secs) in the Modem GUI, then the router will be for...

i was reading through the half bridge mode tutorials but some things im confused so its better to ask the experts on it. Basically my d-lik router has 4 ports but i will be connecting port 1 to the monowall router and the 3 wont be used at all as monowall will do all the nat, firewall, dhcp for all ...

we use pppoa here in UAE and pppoe doesnt work at all so i need to enter the username and password details in the modem itself and i tried half bridge in the older version but wasnt successful and i still have to try in the new firmware, seems a bit confusing to me as i havent been able to get it wo...

i have successfully upgraded d-link 2540T firmware from older RT to the latest RT firmware, no problems so far. sad thing is i had sent the led config like 6 months back to be included in the new firmware but hasnt been, no issues coz its just that one extra led which is used as wireless led in 2640...
