    netgear D834G network bridging

    Hi there,

    I have a netgear D834G and I am trying to get it to bridge so that I can use another router to control 2 WAN links. I've found various posts on the net that suggest putting it into modem mode by using a secret config page. The problem I am having is that I am not able to talk to the router afterwards - or connect to the internet.

    assuming that the public IP was 79.135.116.1 (subnet 255.255.255.248) prior to switching modes, and the internal IP is 192.168.1.1.. what is the internal IP? I thought it would be in the range 79.113.116.x (I went for 2). And in case I was being very thick I even tried the private IP.

    Does anyone have any advice or experience of this?

    There is no internal IP after it's set to bridge mode. You need to hook the DG834G up to your new router and use it to create a PPPoA session, the new router will have the internal and external IPs, and the DG834G will be a transparent device from a TCP/IP standpoint.

    Yeah I was wondering about this after I posted up the question. I will give this a try in the morning. I am a little concerned that when I switched this option on that it's turned the device into a PPoE machine... in which case it will not talk to the ISP: I saw a post somewhere suggesting this might happen.

    And I still can't talk to the stupid thing so I've no way of seeing what it's current config is.
