How to Connect ADSL Modem Router with your Wireless Router

There may come a time when you need to connect your ADSL Modem Router to your Wireless Router, so I hope this simple tutorial with an example on how to make it work.

Here's the scenario:

You have 1 ADSL modem router which are currently connected in your computer. You used this device to connect to the internet. It works fine as long as you used the LAN cable to connect. But when you bought a new wireless router to be able to access the internet with your laptop anywhere in your home, you have problem on making the connection. To solve this problem you need to follow this simple tutorial on how to connect your modem router  with your wireless router properly.

On this example I have PLDT Landline Plus Modem Router ZTE MF612 and a D Link DIR-300 Wireless router.

In order to make the connection you must make sure that none of the device don't have conflicting ip address.  Check your manuals to see what IP address are used by your routers. Most routers uses 192.168.0.1 IP Adresses. If both routers have conflicting IP Address, you have to set the other one to someting 192.168.0.2.

For example if your modem router has an IP Address of 192.168.0.1 then you must set your Wireless router into something 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.0.3 and so on.

On the screen shot below, I have set my D Link DIR 300 wireless router's IP Address to 192.168.0.2.

On the screen shot above you'll also notice that I have disabled the DHCP server that is because, the DHCP server modem router is already been enabled. If you enabled both of these, then you may encounter conflicting IP addresses to several computers that are connected, this will cause internet disconnection. So inorder to avoid this, disable the DHCP server on your router or wireless router.

How to disable DHCP server on your router can be found in your device manual - read them. You will need to access the router to make the changes. Usually 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 or 192.168.2.1 - type one of the IP address in your internet browser such as IE, Mozilla, or Chrome.

In my example the default IP address of D Link DIR 300 is 192.168.0.1 and then the default username is admin with no password.  Then I browse to LAN setup to set the default IP Adress from 192.168.0.1 into 192.168.0.2 so that it will not be conflicting with my modem router. After that, I disabled the DHCP server and save settings. The next time I access my wireless router, I will now type in 192.168.0.2 in my internet browser.

Once you've setup your wireless router, you can now connect the 2 routers together using a crossover type network cable. To make a crossover type network cable, here's the wire setup, white orange, orange, white green, blue, white blue, green, white brown, brown while at the other end of the cable you will have white green, green, white orange, blue, white blue, orange, white brown, brown. Some routers will have a feature called automatic mdix which will automatically crossover any straight network cable when plug in to the router.

images by: http://www.cablesplususa.com

So the set up is:

Your crossover network cable is connected from your modem router's LAN port to one of your wireless router's LAN port.

In my example below, my PLDT modem router is connected to my wireless router, then from my wireless router to my desktop which is the yellow network cable.

That's how you connect your modem router to your wireless router. You can use this setup to your LINKSYS WRT54G routers connected with your Netgear N150 W R WNR1000 or any netgear router.
