Hi, ALL OF YOU ARE WRONG.... If you want to access modem interface through the Netgear router. ONLY ONE solution is there:- Modem IP:- 192.168.1.1 DHCP: (192.168.1.2 -192.168.1.254) Modem Should have the username & password of your ISP Router IP:- 192.168.2.1 DHCP: (192.168.2.2 - 192.168.2.254) Router WILL NOT have the username & password of your ISP Then you can use BOTH the router interface by (192.168.2.1) as well as modem interface by (192.168.1.1) from any computers which is connected through the router !!!

Level-2 Network Engineer

Time to demote you to Level -1 :)

Friend, it is not a must that he should use 192.168.1.1 and 2.1



[*]He can use any IP in that subnet ! IP should be different !
[/list]

[*]You can bridge the modem and give username and password in router also (still it will work)
[*]Issue was a conflict, both having same IP, if you change to different IP's without conflict, it should work !
[*]One of the above replied person has set it for his computer and made it working. So he saying from his own modem/router
[*]Others who replied also helped many with these kind of setup as this is not a big problem for those who knows basic knowledge of Network !
[*]Only issue is communicating without having all details, that is why the delay in rectifying the problem !
[*]You might have said in a simple way than others ! (you never mentioned what it for, others have mentioned why it happened)
[/list]
So, If you read others suggestions, you will actually see they said the same thing as you said ! (to keep both IP different and without conflict)


Cheers !
 
ONLY ONE solution is there
Its not always the case in networking mate.There is no ONE solution.There are many ways to do stuff.Your method is correct too but that doesnt mean that what other users have mentioned earlier are wrong.

If you can post a screen shot for the settings ,as I have done, it will help
novices like me. ( never attended computer school or got any certificate .)

See Post No 2 ;When you programmed the Netgear did you get an option for IP release and Ip renew /
( with TCP/IP obtain Ip address automatically )
This will give the different IP address for the router.

Para two :
Experts like you are always welcome, but should understand, that
not everyone here is a level 2 Network engineer, ( and even if somebody is level 5 does not mention it . How many levels are there ? googling ! )


Update : 1030 AM Confirmed there are Five levels. ( 1 to 5 only )
I am on level 0 ( like so many others !) but not listed.
 
No offenses!To appus:-Question: You can bridge the modem and give username and password in router also (still it will work)... I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IN THIS SCENARIO HOW YOU CAN ACCESS THE MODEM GUI ? Your answer will be highly appreciated !!!Regards,Legend_Killer
 
My net PPP down as of now.. just came to browsing center for checking my mails !

Anyways,

Will you have an IP for Modem ?
Will you have an IP for Router ?

If you have one, just use the IP in http :// IP of whatever in the address bar !

It is not true that only one IP will work in one network !

Check check it out ! when we are giving IP, we should be able to access too !


Bridging the modem, that doesnt mean modem wont have a private IP, Modem still have a private IP. When you bridge, Router acts as it is connected directly. Bridging will enable port forwarding much easier ! So if you DMZ, the PC acts as directly connected to Internet (through Modem = > Router => PC)

Cheers !

Again, if we cant access the stuff, why we should give IP ?
 
This is a general query but I'm posting it here since I use an Airtel connection.

So I have the Airtel 220bx modem. Its connected to a Netgear wireless router which is in turn connected to my pc.

Now, I can access the the netgear router via 192.168.1.1 or routerlogin.com. But how may I access the Airtel modem now which is connected to the netgear router? Currently I have no way of accessing it and each time I have to physically remove its connection to the wifi router and connect it directly with the PC. Is there any way by which I may access it without fiddling with the wires?

The setup is as follows : The phone line is in the Airtel modem. The LAN cable from the airtel modem goes into the input of the netgear router. The output of the netgear rouer goes into the PC NIC.


I am a new user in airtel. Earlier I was into sify and had Netgear WGR614v5 router working perfectly fine with . Now I want to configure the router for airtel broadband . Can anyone point me as to how to do it ? any help would be appreciated.

As mentioned in the thread, I had the installation guy change the IP of the beetel Airtel modem to 192.168.1.5 so that there is no IP conflict. But still when I try to configure the netgear wireless router , I am not able to connect to it :(
