Ya I have lost the option too (i think) what was is called again?

One thing I have noticed over the last 4 days is my cisco modem losing all settings. The wirless network SSID gets changed back to the default and its a pita setting up the options again

They've always done that if they power cycle. Hence it's yet another reason to go down the bridge route if possible.

Will have to dig out the wag54G soon

this is insanelly handy information. thank you man. ive lost my bridge mode and it helped me out alot. i believe for the rest of ppl also. cheers.

thanks for documenting this. just saved me a whole lot of pain.

I just ran into an issue where the Cisco EPC2425 was disconnecting my VPN connection every 15mins (no idea how or why yet). Putting the EPC2425 into bridge mode and using my own router resolved the problem.

thanks again!

Anyone know if UPC will allow a second 2425 to be plugged in and use one for phone and mean I can use the other in bridge mode? Have a spare one from another install and was gonna see if they would let me do this via another cable point in the house.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The Modem is their property.
Only they can provision it. Normally two Modems = two subscriptions.

If you want Data on one Cable Modem and phone calls on the other Cable modem, it's technically possible. But UPC would have to configure it. You need to ask them. No one else can do other than guess.

Actually, the Vodafone modem is a standard dsl modem, that i'm putting into bridge mode too... am I way off here? I wanted to use the equipment I had, and the vodafone router has a TON of options once you get into the admin side, i'm just a bit lost - doesn't have a dedicated WAN but has the usual 4 LAN ports... I thought i was getting somewhere cos i did get it to work perfectly, but as i said only for the first computer to connect to it after starting up... i'm guessing something to do with only having one IP to assign, or something??

if you have an ADSL router with an RJ11 phone port instead of a dedicated ethernet WAN port then it's not going to work properly, and i'm surprised you got anything working on it at all unless you turned of routing on the vodafone modem and it's basically just acting as a switch and your single PC is getting an external (or internal, but you should still get more than one) IP passed directly from the cisco via the vodafone router.

basically, it's not going to work the way you want it to. your best bet is to either just make do with the cisco or sell the vodafone one on ebay and buy a broadband router (not a dsl one) with a dedicated ethernet WAN port that will work properly in bridge mode.

I just set one up there today with a mate who bought a Linksys WRT54GL off komplett for €51.75. it took less than 5 minutes to re-flash it with the tomato firmware and another 10 minutes configuring it just how he wanted it and setting up his half a dozen wireless devices with WPA2 encryption that he could never even get to work with his old router (all he was using before was mac filtering with no encryption) and he's got a rock solid router with wireless that gives a uch better signal right through his whole house and garden (he had to use a repeater with his old router just to get poor coverage of the whole house), not to mention just about every feature he'll ever need for next to nothing.

If you can't bridge, then set your separate router to a different subnet, i.e. 192.168.3.xxx for everything on LAN.

Then give your router WAN port a static IP in the LAN range of the Cisco Router/Cable Modem and only plug the WAN port into Cisco.
Disable WiFi on the Cisco
Then on the Cisco make the IP of your standalone WiFi/Router a DMZ. Then all ports are forwarded both ways, it's almost like Bridge Mode. To the 3rd party standalone WiFi/Router it will look like the Cisco is in Bridge mode but as if your public IP is the LAN IP on the Cisco set up for DMZ.

Thank you so much! This was PERFECT, the EPC2425 is now feeding everything thru to the Linksys WRT310N, and the UPC phone still works. Another proof that boards.ie is absolutely essential.

Hi,

Big apologies for my failure to understand this, but I really can't seem to follow. How do I actually do the following on my WRT610N (192.168.1.1)? If someone can please expound on this a little bit and I'll try to take it from there.

1. set your separate router to a different subnet, i.e. 192.168.3.xxx for everything on LAN
2. Then give your router WAN port a static IP in the LAN range of the Cisco Router/Cable Modem

Thanks a mil in advance.
