Hi,

I have an ADSL modem router that can dial-up to my adsl line. I have configured that to work no problem. But that is only using direct connect to a PC.

I now added a new Wireless Broadband router with 4-port LAN.

Both the adsl modem and the wireless broadband have router features like dhcp, dns, firewall, port handling and so on.

I would like to configure all devices to connect to this Wireless Broadband Router (laptops and desktops) to access internet. The Wireless Broadband Router will directly connect to adsl modem. FYI, I am using PPPoA LLC.

My problem is, I can't seems to figure out how to connect the Wireless Broadband Router to the ADSL router. I am connecting the LAN output from ADSL router to the WAN port in the broadband router. That should be correct.

Should I switch the adsl router to bridge mode? What is bridge mode exactly?

Thanks in advance.

humm is the DSL Modem a moden or a router? Next is is your DSL service an "always on"? you mention dialing up to get DSL service are you using a DSL service like Earthlink?

A router acts as a gateway be it a wired or wireless router. All hosts behind the router have to know the router is the gateway out. Now if you have dialup DSL service, and not an "always on" service, this is a lot more tricky to setup [if you can get it setup] because your browser instigates the dial up network connection to the DSL service. Using a router in between means that the router has to establish the dial up connection to the DSL service, maintain that connection, then let inbound/outbound traffic for hosts behind the router. If your router doesn't have tha capability, your SOL.

My ADSL Router Modem is Billion Router/Modem.
The wireless one is DLink 714P+.

Yes, I have a PPPoA that needs dial-up an the Billion Modem can do a "always connect" on it.

I do basically knows the concept of doing it. But practically implementing it is the problem. Here are some more details :

Gateway IP -> 123.123.123.165
Customer IP -> 123.123.123.166
Arbor Account No -> 747087 (don't think this is useful)
Modem ID -> myid
Modem Password -> mypass
Subnet Mask -> 255.255.255.252
Protocols -> PPPoA

Like I said, connection from Billion Modem have no problem. But how to share out the connection to the wireless router and make all clients connect to the router to surf internet?

Get into the d-link config page type 192.168.0.1 in IE address bar. enter there default password. Run the wizard. I would attempt a connection through PPPoE since (I dont think that router has an option to use PPPoA). Enter user name and password. And Pray

I would connect the ethernet on the modem to the port that says either WAN\Internet.

If that doesn't work try contact D-link's customer support and have fun trying to communicate with them!

Another attempt I would be attmepting the setup as Dynamic connection since your modem is already connected clone the mac then release and renew the ip to see if works.

If that does not work you may need to exchange that router for one that allows PPPoA connection.

Yes set the ADSL to bridge mode. The broadband router will do the logging on and DHCP duties.

Use a straight cable to connect the ADSL to the Wireless.

Good Luck Lee
