Setting up this router as AP is extremely simple in comparison with other routers. I do see the media share menu available in AP mode, but I have not tried connecting any usb media devices. N900 options are pretty limited when using in access point mode. Has anyone done the Uverse thing with this router? What configuration do you you recommend to still use the USB and guest accounts? Uncheck all the Attack Detection checkboxes (7 of them). Uncheck NetBIOS under Inbound Protocol Control. Uncheck the following: Stealth Mode, Block Ping, Strict UDP Session Control.Ĭheck everything under Outbound Protocol Control except NetBIOS. On the 2Wire router, go to Settings -> Firewall -> Advanced Configuration At this point, you can leave your router in DHCP mode (make sure the firewall on your router allows the DHCP renewal packets, which will occur every 10 minutes), or you can change your router’s IP address assignment on the WAN interface to static, and use the same settings it received via DHCP. Restart your router, when it gets an address via DHCP again, it will be the public outside IP address.

Go to Settings -> Firewall -> Applications, Pinholes, and DMZĬlick the DMZPlus button under section (2). Restart your router, let it get an IP address via DHCP. Plug your router’s WAN interface to one of the 2Wire’s LAN interfaces. This is required at first so that the 2Wire recognizes your router. Set your router’s WAN interface to get an IP address via DHCP. The instructions for router behind router are as follows… I can disable the wireless portion and run everything through the N900.

The Uverse box must be there to connect the TVs, internet, and phone, so that can’t be removed. Then I would have to do a router behind router config which can get a lot more complicated quickly.

Will I be able to use the features listed above? I would rather be able to see my Uverse boxes on the same subnet so they can stream pictures from the PC, but can live without that if I have to. If necessary, configure the wireless parameters on your router, such as SSID, encryption, pre-shared key, and MAC filtering. Leave your router’s WAN port empty).Ĭhange the LAN IP address of your router to a static IP on the same subnet as the UVerse 2Wire router. (In other words, plug the cable from one of the LAN ports of the 2Wire to one of the LAN ports of your router. If I set it as an acess point byĬhange the link between the 2Wire router and your router to use the LAN ports on both ends. I have a new N900 in the box ready to install, but wanted some feedback first. 3 wired devices (non Uverse) on 100Mb switch attached to Uverse gateway
