does anyone know how to config a linksis router using the ip adddresss 192.168.1.1
i know that it has to be pppoe for dsl but am lost on all the rest
really do not need the wireless part, i mainly want to use this (ap) as a switch because i have hard line rj45
ran to eveything in the house.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Router model and ISP? All models have a different default IP, which can be changed later, if desired. You should have connectivity (for configuration purposes) by simply plugging the modem into the router and subsequently into your primary or centralized PC. You then open a browser and type in the default IP given by the instructions. Let me know if this works or you've already tried it. I can walk you through further if needed as far as setting everything up.

i think i have it
i plugged modem cat 5 into router port and router port to labtop
this allowed me to config dhcp setup
but will not work if i connect the modem to the router ther right way using the ethernet (in) port

Did you try 192.168.254.1

WELL I USED THE DEFAULT GATEWAY FOUND BY (CMD) FOLLOWED BY (IPCONFIG/ALL)

Then that is your router IP. Sounds like you got everything the way it needs to be. I am confused as to how you got it to work without having the modem going to the "internet IN" port, though.

basically by installing ethernet on an outgoing port it allowed me to bypass all
cisco's firewalls and allowed me to have full access to the router,
the only problem now is i have to manually setup the router to be able to reconnect the proper way
or i can just leave it the way it is, I really only have 3 jr45's ran through the house,there are 4 outgoing ports, everthing else can use wi-fi for an access point

I'm just surprised that worked. I've done it by accident enough times and it never would get internet connectivity. But hey, who cares as long as it works--I don't question things while they function properly, lol.
