Bridging

    Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I will anyways!! I'm using a Smart modem at the moment but to be honest the wireless on it is fairly poor. I have a wireless router (Peak) and I want to set up a bridge so that I can use the wireless from that, but I'm not sure how to do it on the Smart modem.

    Any ideas?

    There's not a real need to bridge your Smart modem. This is how I'd do it:

    Decide if the Smart or Peak box will issue DHCP (assign IP addresses) & turn off/on the service as per you decision

    Give the Peak box a unique IP address based on the Smart IP scheme, i.e, 192.168.*.* (keeping it outside the DHCP range is a good idea)

    Take a regular CAT5 cable, connect the Smart and Peak boxes together via LAN ports.

    Configure the wireless on the Peak and away you go.
