Can I connect a Linksys wireless router to my DSL modem/wireless router?
I just switched from cable modem to DSL. The DSL modem also has a built-in wireless router. The signal is very weak though. You can't access it all around the house. I have a nice wireless Linksys router that I know is stronger. can I connect the Linksys router to the DSL/wireless router to get a stronger signal?
yes you can do it
you need to do a few things first the wireless modem / router
do you have a Westell 327W? as thats' what I have...you turn off the firewall and DCHP on your modem...
With this setup you are going to use the Linksys' WAN port. This is what gives your firewall. So here you will need to set a
static IP address in the Linksys router's "Internet Settings" section on the "Basic Configuration" page - discussed below.
For this configuration you are putting each router on it's own local network, so you will have each router use a different
number in the third octet of it's local IP address (not the Internet IP address assigned to the WAN port). So...set the
Versalink to VC mode to "Bridged" or "VLAN Bridged" instead of "Routed Bridged".
This is done through Configuration --> Advanced WAN --> WAN.
Choose the proper VC and then set the protocol under VC Configuration to "Bridged" and the protocol under "Bridged Settings"
to "Bridged" or "VLAN Bridged" and not "Routed Bridged".
For your local LAN setup (not the internet WAN port), make sure you are using static IP addresses on the Versalink router and
not DHCP. This makes it easier to administer both routers.
Turn off the local DHCP on the Versalnik by going to Configuration --> Advanced LAN --> Private LAN, and uncheck DHCP.
Say the local IP address of your Linksys router is 192.168.50.1. Give your Versalink a local address with a different third
octet: 192.168.10.1. You assign the local address on the Versalink under Configuration --> Advanced LAN --> Private LAN
settings.
Now the routers are on different local networks.
At this point you have to provide a way for the Linksys and Versalink routers to communicate. You do this by putting the
Linksys' WAN port (which is different than the four ethernet ports on the Linksys) on the same network as the Versalink
router. This is done with the "Internet Settings" section at the top of the main "Basic Configuration" page. This is the top
section on the main basic configuration page. The section above the section entitled "Network Setup" on that main page.
"Internet Settings" controls the WAN port.
"Network Setup" controls the ethernet ports and is the local setup for the in house portion of router: DHCP to your PCs, etc.
Go to the Linksys router's main configuration page.
Under "Internet Settings" or "Internet Connection Type" select "Static IP".
A series of boxes should now appear allowing you to type in an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and static DNS addresses.
The IP address here will use the same first three octets used in your Vesalink router. In our example that was
192.168.10.XXX, because Versalink's IP address is 192.168.10.1.
So in the Linksys router you type 192.168.10.2. This assigns the Linksys' WAN port the IP address of 192.168.10.2 and puts
the WAN port on the same network as the Versalink router.
Set the Subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
For our example the Linksys' gateway address would be set to 192.168.10.1 (the Versalink router), because your DSL connection
is through the Versalink.
Leave the DNS settings empty.
Now the routers can talk to each other, and by using the Linksys WAN port, all the information passed to the Linksys will
pass through the Linksys' firewall.
Now plug an ethernet cable into the Linksys' WAN port, and plug the other end into one of the Versalink's four ethernet
ports.
If you use static IP addresses on your PC's, make sure you set the Gateway address to the same address you used for the
static IP address for the Linksys WAN port. In our example that was 192.168.10.2.
keep in mind you might have to plug back and forth to set IPs on both the modem and the linksys router, it's also best to keep the network config window open so you can change you r gateway server from the linksys or the modem if you are using static IPs and make changes to any of the pc ( epscially if your static IPs are different than the ones in my example ), you can also set them to get IP automatically and then after you got a worknig connection fix the ips on the computers.

Articles and News with References to DSL Modem Wireless Routers
Whether you're working remotely from your secluded ranch, you want to keep up with your friends and family from your mountain cabin, or you simply like to be connected to the net no matter where you are, internet options for people in remote areas abound. Although the scenery is beautiful and the setting is serene, finding an affordable, efficient internet connection in rural areas can be a daunting task. There are many ways to access internet but not all of them are created equal. Here are some of the options that are available to people in remote areas.
Dial Up
Dial up is the cheapest option and it can even be free sometimes. However, the downside of using dial up internet is that it is slower than other options and you cannot use the internet and your phone together at the same time. Furthermore, most major websites are graphically rich these days, meaning that load times are painfully long if you have dial up. The performance of dial up internet can vary widely depending on your location.
Wireless
If you live in a remote area, you may be able to get wireless internet access if there is a provider in your area. However, the availability of wireless internet is still relatively limited in remote areas. Wireless internet doesn't require a telephone line or cable network. The internet is connected using radio frequency bands. The connection is always on so you don't have to dial in order to access the internet. All you need to get started is a wireless modem or card and a service provider.
Satellite
In some rural areas, satellite internet may be your only option. Satellite internet is available virtually anywhere. A local dish is usually positioned on the roof of your house and receives data relayed via satellite. Your computer receives the data from the dish at a speed of up to 400kbps. However, satellite internet is more expensive to set up than other types of broadband internet. Many satellite internet services are asymmetric, meaning that the satellite is only used to download data. Any information you need to upload is transmitted via a dial up connection. So in addition to paying for a satellite connection, you also have to pay for a dial up connection.
ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, or ADSL, is a type of high speed broadband internet access that is becoming increasingly more available in remote areas. ADSL, often referred to as DSL, allows digital information to be sent over ordinary telephone lines at high speeds. It carries voice and data signals simultaneously so you can talk on the phone and use the internet at the same time even if you only have one telephone line. In order to have access to DSL in a remote area, you need to be within 4km of a specially equipped telephone exchange. You can also have access to a DSL connection outside of this range if you install a heavy gauge wire or optical fiber cable. The cons of DSL are that upload speeds are slower than download speeds and the set-up fees and equipment can be expensive.
