There is no option on my EPC2425 for bridge mode!!! Most people say go to Basic Settings > Gateway but there is no Gateway option in my basic settings?!! Does this mean I can't put my EPC2425 into bridge mode??? Just about had enough of all this at this stage. . .

EDIT: Solved this retarded problem by clicking a link to 192.168.1.100/Gateway Mode. I'm going to see if simply leaving the EPC2425 in bridge mode as a modem will fix the two xboxs closed NAT problem. If not I'll get a router and attach it.

Its not going to make any difference until a router is attached.

Just going some research here, i don't think you're going to be able to have multiple xboxes online at any one time due to a limitation with NAT. YOu will probably find you will require multiple public IP addresses which home broadband providers don't genreally give.

the two xboxes will be published on the internet with one IP address, when data comes from the internet to your broadband modem/router it will generally ship all that traffic to the first xbox that connected over upnp or if you have a static dmz host it will send all traffic to that.

there may be a possibility to change the cisco to bridge mode and add in another router that is xbox live compatible

here is a guide that may help: http://www.techknowlogy.jigsy.com/

i thinkt however though that the limitation will lie with UPC and the cisco modem, you may find a workround with static DHCP, Portforwarding & Port triggers but im not overly sure.

You're moving from Eircom... it would be ridiculous to cancel your UPC order.

davidindublin · 16-03-2011, 17:05

Ill take that as a green light....thanks Roast....although I had no real problem with Eircom....maybe my expectations are too low

No problem!
Most people don't have have problems with Eircom at all. Until they use UPC (or any Cable net connection). You'll soon realise it is far better than your Eircom connection.

Best of Luck!

Having some serious trouble with this crappy router/modem.

First of all, my internet started disconnecting randomly, it would work for like 10 - 30 mins then disconnect me. I am connected to the internet via a Belkin router, I had wireless network disabled on the modem. I though it was the Belkin router's problem so I unplugged it and tried enabling the wireless network on the modem again, but once I have it enabled, I can't connect to the network! Wireless is simply not working on the modem for me. I can connect to the internet if I plug in the enthernet cable, but wireless won't work! This started happening 3 days ago and it's extremely annoying, can anyone help me please? Don't hesistate to ask me questions, I want to get this fixed ASAP.

P.S: I am connecting to the internet using the Belkin router, but it will disconnect me randomly and I would have to restart the router to fix that.

Regards, Kingbob.

Have u the epc modem in bridge mode?

Also turn the wireless off on the epc and change the wireless channel on the belkin, ensure your passwords are correct for the wireless as well.

Sometimes if you endure the password wrong it will try to connect, say connected but not give u an address.

kingbob387 · 17-03-2011, 16:46

Modem is not in bridge mode, 'cause I am using their phone service aswell.

Password for the wireless network is 100% identitcal to the one on the modem, I can connect to the modem, but can't get any internet connection at all.

matt-dublin · 17-03-2011, 17:02

I think that's probably why you're having issues. Try just using the UPC modem and nt the belkin

Have u disabled the UPC wifi after enabling the belkin?

Have u got the wep/wpa configuration the same?

Have u disbaled dhcp on the belkin

kingbob387 · 17-03-2011, 17:37

Ok, I tried unplugging the Belkin, and using the modem's wireless capabilities. I ran into a odd problem. I have a PC and a laptop, I can't connect to it with the PC, yet I can with my laptop and iPod. When I am connected with the laptop, and I try connect with the PC, the wireless network just fails and won't let the PC connect.

WPA configurations are different, using different passwords. And I do have the wireless of the modem turned off while using the Belkin, I had it turned off since I got the Belkin, it worked flawlessly until 3 days ago.

And I just disabled DHCP on the belkin, let's hope this works so I don't have to go back to UPC's customer support. It's one piece of **** compared to asking for help on Boards.

jaredGalen · 19-03-2011, 15:34

I have been having trouble this week with my modem/router this week too.

To try and get around it I wired another linksys router up and setup another wireless router, letting the upc one handle the dhcp.

My upc modem/router is still giving me grief. Is it just coincidence some people started having similar trouble this week?

kingbob387 · 19-03-2011, 17:04

I think it's just coincidence, 'cause I managed to get the upc modem/router working wifi and all, it's the Belkin router having problems.

Hi

I just got UPC 30mb installed today and I'm having problems. Any time I try to download something from anywhere, it always ends up dropping to less than 50kb/s in a matter of seconds.

I've tried turning off IP Flood and whatnot, nothing's worked so far.

I've used different speed tests and gotten perfect results (28-29mb down and 2.8 or so up), yet nothing downloads fast at all. Literally have no idea what could be wrong.
