Re: [LUG] Network Setup

 

Hi Richard.

Simply put...

Use the Netgear for DHCP.

Turn DHCP Server Off on the Draytek.

Assign the Draytek a static IP (not 192.168.0.1 but something in the DHCP pool)

Turn Off WiFi on the Netgear

That'll do it for now - unless someone else on the list wants to explain subnets.

Hi

I have been given a lovely piece of kit by a lug member. I need to now set this up and I am wondering if I could have some help please?

I now have a Netgear DGN2200v4. This is serving as a router and dhcp server. It also provides wifi.

The new piece of kit is a Draytek Vigor 2130 Series Broadband Router/Firewall.

So, I now want to switch off all functionality in the Netgear and let the Draytek take over, using the Netgear simply as a modem.

Both bits of equipment are using the ip address of 192.168.0.1. When I type that in a browser, I get access to the Netgear. The Draytek is connected via cable to the Netgear and currently displays a wifi identity as Draytek with no protection. I can log into the wifi and use it.

I tried turning off the Netgear as a DHCP server and lost the internet completely and so I reset that and I am now once again functioning.

I am assuming that if I tell the Netgear to use IP address 192.168.0.250 say, this will then allow me to connect to the Draytek. Is that correct please, if not can someone tell me the steps to take in order to let the Draytek take over and secure the Network please?

Thanks
