Hey guys, Im trying to solve this weird problem involving this piece of junk of a modem (yeah i realize it now) which is used by a friend of mine, she was using it previously but right after she re-format her pc it has gone (sort of).

I've tried resetting again using the instructions in the 1st page, the weird thing is, it can connect in PPPoE mode but upon a so called successful connection, it doesn't look like connected at all as i can't surf and all that.

anyone has any idea what is wrong?

Thats normal you're behind a NAT , you'll have to add rules to your D-link firewall to allow the connection. That isn't a bug




I am using Linksys WR54GL , I've been using it together with DB102 for the past one month and it works very well. Currently , I am using it with D-link DSL520T

Behind a NAT? what you mean by that? Sorry, I am a totally noob in networking =D. thanks

prasys,
Thank you very much...at least I got the idea which brand shall I buy now
using D-Link DSL52OT modem now? How about ur DB102? Throw it away? I thought u have mentioned it is great modem
you have very good description for both Linksys WR54G & Linksys WR54GLhere
but what is a 3rd party firmware & where to get this & how to flash into 3rd party firmware?
And what is DD-WRT/Tomato? How to flash it to DD-WRT/Tomato ?


I still can not understand them even go throught here

Shall I buy them or this is just the software/code?

sorry new user here & not yet buy the router

hi guys...im using this crappy Riger modem. i always get DC, get very irratating especially half way in online game. i just wanna confirm, is this cause by my modem itself or the line problem also? i use to stay just ~8km away from my current home and during that time, when i share internet with housemate using the ZTE modem, i hardly get DC at least not as frequent as my current home.

guys any ideas?

i've tried reset it countless times and set up according to the instructions but the problem still persists.

anyone can give me the exact things that i need to do to setup for streamyx and detailed configurations that i would need to manually adjust?

it will be greatly appreaciated...

I still have both right now. My DB102 is collecting dust but it will act as a spare modem whenever I need it. DB102 is a great modem but it fails when it comes to act as a router. It has its own pros and cons. The flashing procedure is pretty straight forward , I would prefer you to get WRT54GL. You should just buy the router as its very powerful. You haven't seen the power of QoS yet !

TQ...
u mean DB102 with WRT54GL work prefectly?
I will buy it tomorrow, i think the price shall be around RM185~200
btw, I noticed in addition to this, they have another product RM170~175
WRT54G2

What do u think WRT54G2 vs WRT54GL ? I can not see the difference btw them maybe WRT54G2 is the new model

fren,u mention that ur fren reformatted her PC?
Did she do anything to the router?
If NOT, i would suspect that it is some settings on the PC that needs to be tweaked as formatting will return all the settings on the PC to default.
Of course, this is just an early conclusion
will appreciate it if you can provide further information such as the modem..which lights are light up and blinking, etc
a screenshot will help a lot as well.

I got my Linksys WRT54GL wireless router yesterday but when I follow the instruction to set with riger db102 uitl the step 7 it promt me the password, I use the default password "admin" but fail to process the next step
what happen? Pls help?

Another problem I have with streamyx is I can not make a call at the same time when connecting ??? Why?

And I noticed to access the DB102 is 192.168.1.1 but to access the router also is192.168.1.1 ..what can I do for this?

Is it possible to setup the WRT54GL to use wireless network with destop rather than with the ethernet just like the laptop?


appreciate anyone here to assist my problem..TQ
