ADSL2MUE to Router Help Please
Thanks to this forum early this year I flashed this modem with the excellent RouterTech Firmware v2.3, I'm thinking of using a Linksys WRT350N which will give me the 1gb router and wireless capabilities in one hit, the question is I have never used the modem in this way before how difficult is it to configure the modem if possible, looking around do I use something called bridge mode, if so how is the easiest way of achieving this, hope the question is not stupid if so I apologise in advance. Just a footnote I have not purchased the WRT350N yet so if this is a bad router I would appreciate any feedback but generally I do like Linksys equipment.
what connection type do you have? PPPOA or E? If the latter Full bridge mode is easy, if A only you will be into half-bridge, but I'm not sure how many of us are using this at the moment...
Take a look at linksysinfo.org I'm not sure how well liked the WRT350N is - but maybe it will be supported by dd-wrt?

the wrt350n is a superb router. a bit expensive but excellent. has a gigabit port and usb port.
its supported by dd-wrt firmware as well...and is highly talked about in there forums.
what you need to do is. set the adsl2mue in "bridge mode"
this is done by setting "new connection" and choosing "bridge mode".
enter your vci settings etc
then go to lan settings and choose your connection and turn dhcp and server relay off. then connect your modem ether port to your wan router port
you then need to do you setting for your wifi/router and choose pppoe setting.
however you need to find out if your isp supports pppoe or pppoa before you do this. otherwise you will have to do a whole different setup and use "half bridge mode"
i think most people lack to do is "read the manual"
if you downloaded the routertech firmware. then you would of have seen a readme html. theres a FAQ there. that is really helpful.
regards
ps:good luck

Code: Select all
my 350N is in the bin. it died on me after the last official firmware upgrade and the offered replacement by cisco did not arrive, so i trashed it as the piece of junk it was
I guess his ADSL2MUE is also in the bin!
