The most excellent arrangement for networking a Linksys router (or several additional external routers) by means of the Motorola/Netopia 2210 is to set the 2210 to "Bridged Ethernet" method and permit the Linksys to do the routing and DHCP functions. The Motorola/Netopia 2210 is in addition a router by means of full DHCP functions and might not function appropriately when associated unswervingly to an additional router. Not altering the modem to Bridged Ethernet might result in twice NAT'ing, increased latency, probable IP conflicts, or possibly a network that does not work at the entire.

Together the 2210 and Linksys router be obliged to be reset to defaulting by pressing the reset button for immediately regarding 30 seconds. Despite what the assist desk tech (or anybody else) tells you, resetting the modem does not position it into Bridged Mode. The BellSouth Installation CD is not necessary (nor suggested) to facilitate this arrangement.

Do not hard code a static IP in the router.

By defaulting, most routers do not have the competence to route a local IP out of their WAN port (where your 2210 is associated). Furthermore, they might be on totally different subnets. Subsequent to you encompass made the changes to the 2210 you be able to then attach the router and configure it for utilize by means of FastAccess.

After that you have to hit it off on Save and restart the correlation at the bottom. This determines to mechanically restart the modem and the interface determine to return subsequent to the changes are saved.

Subsequent to the modem has restarted, power down together the system and the modem then physically disconnect the 2210. When the system is totally powered down, attach one of the router's LAN ports to the system NIC and power up the router and then the system.
