Hi Guys

I have a dlink DSL 300g+ ethernet modem and am trying to add a router to the set-up but am getting no luck, I think when you try to add a router to this setup it is not straightforward as it should be. The dlink device needs to become a bridge for the router but I am not sure how to do this. I would be very grateful if somebody could give me an idea of how I can make the dlink a bridge device from my new router.

Thank for your help

Martin

i don't believe you need a bridge, why do you suspect that is so?
connect the dsl modem to the internet, connect the modem to the router via the router's uplink port(see docs for router...what model?) . if you haven't got the router yet, just get aworkgroup switch.
if you have link lights, your are good to go cabling wise. let us know if that much works...
