In the end I purchased a TP-Link Archer D7, and was online wirelessly within about 30 seconds. I suspect that the TD-8816 modem I had bought to go with the router s not fully up to the job. I had been recommended elsewhere to use a different one. Anyway, I now have a surplus modem and router! And th...

Thanks; I gave that a try, but it didn't work. I experimented accessing a website from my tablet, to get two error messages: first telling me the site's DNS address could not be found, and then that I was offline. This is beginning to seem like more effort than it should be! But thank you for your t...

OK, here are my files. First "dmesg" [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.10.49 (eric@Osiris) (gcc version 4.8.3 (OpenWrt/Linaro GCC 4.8-2014.04 unknown) ) #5 Sat Nov 7 17:11:46 EST 2015 [ 0.000000] MyLoader: sysp=34969d85, boardp=0dacbcbd, parts=95c4fda7 [ 0.000000] bootconsole [early0] enabled [ ...

I would attach the logs from the modem, and from the router (the latter obtained with "logread -l 100") but I don't know this forum's rules for file attachments - my attempts with the extensions "log" and "txt" produce the error "invalid file extension". On my...

Well, I tried with these addresses: modem: 10.0.0.100 mask 255.255.255.0 router 192.168.1.1 mask 255.255.255.0 Still can't connect to the internet. (I'm accessing it now using a prepaid wireless broadband modem) I've rebooted both modem and router. I can however access both the modem and the router ...

Thank you again - I'll test it out later and report back!

Thank you very much. I'm not at my apartment right now, but I'll test that later. Are there any standard recommended IP addresses and masks for a wireless router and bridged modem?

Ok, here's my setup: Modem router: T-Link TD-8816 Wireless router: T-Link TL-WR1043ND v2 running gargoyle 1.8.1 From my ISP I have the connection details - Protocol: PPPoE Username and Password VPI: 8 VCI: 35 I can hook my laptop to the modem with a cable, log in with those details, and happily acce...

Latest: I've spent about 3 hours this evening trying to get my router to work as it should: as a WAP. But I can't. The only way I can access it is with a cable - which defeats the purpose. So in order to have at least some sort of internet access I've gone back to a cable connection to the modem, an...

Yes, it was indeed unresponsive: all browser calls to 192.168.1.1 returned an error. Curiously though, a few hours later, while my laptop was still directly connected to the modem, the router came alive - at least according to one of my other devices.
